Jonesville District Library does not require a library card to give/take puzzles - its open to anyone.  We do not catalog or keep track of what is on the shelf.  Of pieces are missing, we ask that they NOT return them.  We do not use any library budget to purchase puzzles - all of our collection is donated.

We do not keep track of them going in and out and we don't have patrons sign them in and out.  We do ask if they notice missing pieces, that they let us know when they return them.  Otherwise, they simply go back in the shelf!  We have found that our puzzle lovers also donate more puzzles as well so "new" stock is not ever an issue!

Good afternoon!

A few questions for those of you who have the honor system puzzle exchanges in your library:
 1. Do you keep track of the puzzles going in and out? 
 2. Do you have them sign the puzzles in and out when they take one? 
 3. Do you just put the puzzles out and let it go from there? 

Any info or feedback is greatly appreciated!
