The best library you've never heard of-The Douglas Park Puzzle Library

November 26, 2020

If your family likes puzzles, this is the post you need!  

Tucked in the heart of Douglas Park in south Arlington, you will find the Douglas Park Little Free Puzzle Library.  Puzzle hounds in-the-know come here to borrow from the proprieter’s selection of over 300 puzzles, from chunky toddler puzzles to 1000 piece monsters.  Simply select one (or two or three) that you fancy and return when you are done!

Inspired by the Little Free Libraries around the country, the generous property owner created the library in the enclosed porch in front of their home in order to help neighbors through the pandemic. This amazing little resource helps families, reduces waste, and strengthens community ties.  It's a hidden gem and a win-win for everyone.  

The Douglas Park Little Free Library is located at 1706 S. Lowell, St. Arlington, VA 22204.  Open 24/7 and masks required.  Step stool available for up-high puzzles.
