New:
-**Please do not start trading until 12:30 PM, I will make an announcement when it's time to start. This gives people time to get set up and have a fair shot at getting the puzzles they want.**
-We have gone back to the 12:30 PM start time to give enough time for tables to be set up and to not have people waiting outside the library.
-In the future, if anyone would be interested in hosting this type of event, I'd be happy to get the room booked for you if you are up for running it. Please message me if you're interested.

Puzzle swap info:
-The swap begins at 12:30 PM and runs until 2:00 PM.
-This swap is a person to person swap, meaning that people have some table space where they set up their puzzles and then you walk around and see what other people have and trade with them, either directing them to your table or showing them what you've brought. Having table space is not necessary to participate, you can just carry them around if you wish.
-The tables are first come first served. Please share your table with another person if you have room to do so.
-Please label any puzzles that are missing pieces
-There will be a table for free puzzles. Any puzzles that are there at the end will be distributed through the Buy Nothing group or Coquitlam Puzzle Exchange group.

Social puzzling info:
-Social puzzling begins when there's enough vacant tables after people are done swapping puzzles. If you just want to come for social puzzling, I recommend coming at 2:00 PM. Social puzzling ends at 4:30 PM.
-We will be finishing the 6,000 piece puzzle. The puzzle has been split into bags of about 350 pieces, so everyone will grab a bag, complete their section, and then bring it to the main table to complete the whole image.
-I will also bring a few 500 piece puzzles for people to do in case the 6,000 piece puzzle finishes early. The library also has a bookshelf full of them that you can borrow one from. Or feel free to bring your own.

General event info:
-Location: Coquitlam Library Poirier Branch in the Nancy Bennett room (once you walk in to the library, continue walking straight and it's the last room on the left)
