My Project

Puzzles are a great way to relax, stay mindful, and have fun.

Whether we're seeing classes in the library or hosting our gaming clubs, a puzzle table is a great alternative to active programming.

By having a table in our library, we will be able to keep puzzles out at all times, letting our students and our colleagues engage for any amount of time with our current puzzle. We've received many puzzles as donations in the past, but have never completed them due to time constraints. With a dedicated puzzle table, we can leave out the puzzles and complete them together at our leisure!
