Default Jigsaw puzzles

Hi. We are new to the villages and we're wondering if there is any organized jigsaw puzzle swap?

Go to or call the Silver Lake rec center. They usually have them there to borrow for free or donate. You can also try the Goodwill store, where you can often buy them for a few dollars.

Almost all the rec centers have puzzle exchanges.

Barnes & Nobles at LSL has a lot of games, it's all the back of the store which use to be the movie section. I noticed all the records and DVD's were 50% off when I went in this week. They have a good section of puzzles, they might be marked down as well, I didn't look. The way the shelves are somewhat empty, makes me think they are not much longer for this world.

Almost all? I don't think so.

Lake Miona Rec Ctr has a puzzle swap. I run a puzzle swap in my neighborhood. If your neighborhood has a website you could start one. Put a feeler out to see if any of them are interested.

At the Silver Lake rec center, you just pick up the puzzles you want and return them when you are finished. Obviously, people need to donate puzzles for the system to work.
