Advanced Planning  Iwas inspired by the Boulder Public Library when they did a similar puzzle at the 2024 PLA Conference. They had small laser-cut puzzle pieces for people to color as al break from the conference activities.I thought it was a great idea, and presented it to my director as at fun and easy passive program. We planned it about a month in advance, buti it doesn't need that much prep work, mainly just the shipping  time. Marketing  Forr marketing, wel have a sign by the table and on the wall where we stick the pieces. Our front desk staff  usually let people know that it's available as well.  Budgeting  The main purchase was the puzzle pieces. We bought a 50-pack for $16 and have purchased at total of seven packs. The ticky tack we already had, but we bought a two pack for about $8 of the brand we prefer. The markers we already had (although you could use any coloring medium). The cardboard and paperwe  used to cover the tables we already had from leftover packaging.  Day-of-event Activity  The day of, we laid down paper on the picnic table (it was part of an outdoor event) and Is set out some puzzle pieces and a bin of markers. lalso had al bin with a sign for completed pieces to go in. Isat there  forav while with them, but a staff member wasn't required.  Program Execution  It's been al big hit. It has been mostlyyoung kids, but anyone who wants to can make one. Since we had extra aftert the event, Iput them on at table int the library for other patrons to color. Because ofi its popularity, we have purchased more pieces to keep the program going since patrons still show an  interest. Advice mess.  Ifyou have table space and wall: space, it's a great passive program. If your budget is tight, then Iwould get a set number of pieces. Iwould advise you to covert the workspace with paper or cardboard to prevent  3    TUUI  omahewkPubI Library Communit  Puzzle  Colorapiebacon urpuzzle    WE LOVE, OuR TOMAHAWK LIERARY  Anend  leicher  21 Savag  Tomahawk PublicLibrary Community Puzzle Colorapiscgoaga COourpurlel  place finished pieces here!  20
