Puzzle Watch: The Vote is In!

The vote is in. The next puzzle to be constructed is Old-Timey Coffee Shop. CSU Libraries feel that it gives the proper tone for the fall season that we are now in, as well as a reminder that our ancestors were addicted to caffeine as much as we are.



Thank you to all those who voted and please take time to reap your rewards by stopping by the puzzle table in Schwob Library.

Meanwhile, you can vote on the next puzzle selection. There are three options to choose from: Kitten with Lantern, Sailboats, and an Old Timey Coffee Shop.

September 10th Puzzle Watch

The puzzle seemed to take an extended Labor Day holiday at the Schwob Library. However, as of Wednesday it was back in production. The palm trees have been completely constructed, and the tiny people walking across the bridge bring forth the realization, verified by the box, that this garden scene is from a photograph and not a painting.

More lovely photos of Dubrovnik can be found on its Flickr page at: http://www.flickr.com/groups/dubrovnik-croatia/.

It looks like the pieces left to this puzzle include sky, flowers, and grass. Stop in to help complete the picture and stay tuned for next week's update.
