Jigsaw Puzzles!  Help us put together Jigsaw Puzzles of Peacham scenes!  We have been given a collection of jigsaw puzzles and would like to put them on display.  To do this, we need your help putting them together.  We’ll start with one or two in the Reading Room and later have a Jigsaw Blitz where we put together as many as we can in one day.  We hope you’ll join us in this endeavor.
