About the event

Puzzling is no longer just a rainy day pastime or a hobby to leisurely ponder over. In recent years, it has turned into a major source of competition. The accomplished Sabrina Monserate will teach you the fundamentals of and tips for the popular speed puzzling events held all over the world. The latter portion of the program will give you a chance to test your skills and knowledge against an opponent. The winner finishes first!

This program ties in with "The History of Jigsaw Puzzles in the U.S." as part of the Durham County Library Festival later in April.
