If you don’t live in Austin, encourage your local library branch or system to create something similar!
Not only can you socialize if you want, but you can get a new-to-you puzzle and rehome puzzles you no longer use! Win-win!
A lot of people have puzzles laying around. They either intended to do them and never did, or they did them and don’t like to reuse/redo puzzles. I don’t get sick of puzzles so I don’t need to swap, but we have aged up/out of puzzles for my son so we like to rehome the younger-age puzzles to other kids and find more advances/smaller piece puzzles for him as he gets older.
If you miss a puzzle swap you can rehome or find new-to-you puzzles in a couple of places:
- libraries
- community centers
- faith groups
- schools
- after school care programs
- neighborhood groups like on Facebook or Nextdoor
- Buy Nothing Project on Facebook or in the app version
