Do you have a closet full of puzzles you’ve already completed? Would you like to pass those puzzles to someone who also enjoys doing puzzles and get new ones for yourself in return? The Larchmont Library is hosting a Puzzle Swap on Saturday, November 18th from 1:00pm to 4:00pm in the Village Center. The Swap is a great way for you to pick up some puzzles to work on during the holidays with friends and family!
Bring any puzzles in good condition which you’d like to swap and leave them on the tables set up in the Village Center. When you drop off your puzzles, take a few puzzles home with you! Remember, this is a swap, not a donation drive. Stick around for a while to enjoy refreshments and work on a community puzzle. The remaining puzzles left at the end of the day will be donated to the Library’s circulating puzzle collection, New Jewish Home, Sarah Neuman in Mamaroneck and Puzzles-to-Remember, a non-profit organization that distributes puzzles to facilities that care for people with Alzheimer’s disease.
