Champion Alert! 🧩🏆

With an incredible time of just 38 minutes, Team Vanha claimed the Puzzle Master title for the fourth month in a row - completing a clean sweep of all four months in our winter/spring league! What a streak!

This month’s event was extra special as we celebrated National Library Week, which officially kicks off today, with a custom puzzle featuring our central Iowa libraries for participants to enjoy.

A huge thank-you to our wonderful hosts at the Tournament Club of Iowa for providing the space and grand prize!

Thank you again to everyone who continues to support these events and the Polk City Community Library.

That’s a wrap for our winter/spring league! Watch for more information on our next league coming this fall!
