Program Description

Event Details

Throughout the month of November, teams can drop into the library to assemble a designated 500-piece puzzle. A prize will be awarded to the quickest team + all participating teams will be entered in a drawing! 

 

How to Play: Teams can be any size and each team will complete the same "official" competition puzzle. We have two copies of the puzzle that will be available on a first-come, first-serve basis. 

Check in at the front desk to pick up the puzzle and a challenge form to record your time. Use any table of your choice within the library to complete the puzzle.

There is no time limit for completing the puzzle but be mindful of library hours and the duration of time needed to complete the puzzle. (A 500-piece puzzle can take an average of 2-6 hours to complete.) Puzzles must be returned 15 minutes prior to the library closing. Only one attempt is allowed per team to complete the puzzle and teams will not be allowed to resume progress on a puzzle if they are unable to complete it in a single session. You can still turn in your challenge form and mark down that you did not finish the puzzle. You will not be eligible for the quickest time prize but you will still be entered into the general prize drawing. (Please note that the library will be closed all day on November 11, 28, & 29, and closing early on November 27 at 6:00 PM.)

Winners will be notified by December 6. Prizes can be collected at the front desk until December 31.    

 

*For those who prefer to linger over a jigsaw puzzle, the library has you covered too. Our collection of puzzles allows cardholders to choose from a variety of designs to check out and take home for 3 weeks. (Our puzzle collection can be found near the Reference Desk and you can find the juvenile puzzles near the Youth Desk.)
