About Those Missing Pieces

Like any item in a shared community collection, we understand that sometimes things go missing. So, we’re counting on your help to monitor missing puzzle pieces. Inside each puzzle container, there is a card. Once you’ve assembled the puzzle, we ask that you note the date and number of missing pieces on this card.

If more pieces are missing since the last entry on the card, please thoroughly search your home and yard before returning the puzzle. And if you discover a missing piece later, please bring it to any branch and give it to a staff member. We’ll happily take it and find its proper home!

Here’s a fun puzzle fact! The piece count on puzzles is not precise. Typically a 100-piece puzzle has 104 pieces, 500 pieces is closer to 513, a 1000-piece puzzle has about 1026, and so on. The number of pieces depends on the puzzle’s dimensions and is rounded down to the closest size on the puzzle description. So, if you count more than 100 pieces, that’s normal—and they all need to be returned.

Enjoy!
