Exchange a puzzle for a new-to-you one!

Bring your gently used puzzles (no missing pieces, please) in the original box, and take home new-to-you puzzles to enjoy. You're also welcome to take a puzzle even if you don't have one to swap. Puzzles for all ages and of all sizes will be accepted, as long as they are in good condition with all the pieces. This is an all ages program, everyone is welcome.

During the swap, we will use Redmond Makerspace equipment to create personal, 48-piece, 8x10 puzzles. Email your digital image to josieh@deschuteslibrary.org by April 30th if you'd like to print and press a puzzle! (Equipment used: sublimation printer and heat press.)
