Jigsaws!!

We keep adding new jigsaws!

We are rationalising the jigsaws in order to make space for new ones.

We have stopped stocking jigsaws over 1000 pieces.

There is no longer online ordering for jigsaws - come to the library and choose!

The rest are now grouped in 2 sections

  1. 1000 pieces

  2. 500 pieces (includes those less than 500)

We have introduced a small selection of Children's jigsaws





Hand sanitiser is provided and must be used
