How the swap library works

Four steps, no membership

  1. Bring a puzzle you have finished

    Any puzzle of 300 pieces or more, in its box. Tell us if a piece or two is missing and we write that on the lid.

  2. Get a swap ticket

    We take the puzzle and hand you a ticket. Tickets never expire, and you can swap up to two puzzles a visit.

  3. Take one off the swap shelf

    Any puzzle on the shelf, any size, for one ticket. No ticket? A swap-shelf puzzle is $5.

  4. Short a piece? Bring it back

    If a swap puzzle turns out to be missing more than the lid says, bring it back within 14 days for another.

The swap shelf: three shelves of stacked puzzle boxes in different colors, with a card of swap tickets pinned to the side

Questions about swapping

What if my puzzle is missing a piece?

Bring it anyway and tell us how many are missing. We write it on the lid so the next person knows. Puzzles missing more than three pieces go in the craft bin instead of on the shelf.

Do swap tickets expire?

No. Keep them as long as you like and use one on any puzzle on the swap shelf.

Can I swap a puzzle I bought here new?

Yes, once you have finished it. Every complete puzzle of 300 pieces or more can go on the swap shelf.

How long do you hold a puzzle?

Seven days from the day we confirm. After that it goes back on the shelf.

Hold a new puzzle for pickup.

Tell us the piece count and the kind of picture you like.
