This is my regular "Libraries are not just about books" entry. People are often surprised to find that we have a huge collection of children's jigsaw puzzles. They are one of the most popular items for our young patrons and their parents.
They range from simple five piece knob puzzles with big bright colours to help develop manual dexterity, right through to the more complicated puzzles which provide our librarians and volunteers with their daily intelligence tests (we have to put them together ourselves quite often so that we can check that all the pieces are there). From animals, trucks and Thomas the Tank Engine through to numbers, letters and match-up games, there is something for everyone.
You won't find the jigsaws out on the shelves, but we do have laminated sheets of all our puzzles for you to sort through and bring up to the desk. We will then find the jigsaw for you and hand it over. They range from small to rather large so be prepared.
Check out the range of jigsaws on this Rodney Libraries catalogue link.
