We just added several puzzles to the Little Free Puzzle Library.

Stop in for a fun puzzle for a rainy day!

The Little Free Puzzles Library operates on an honor system with the core rule: "Take a puzzle, share a puzzle." While you do not need to leave a puzzle to take one, users are encouraged to donate puzzles, when possible, to keep the library stocked.
