The jigsaw puzzle library with one strict rule

Take a puzzle, leave a puzzle. And never, ever keep a piece.

The Laughing Otter
A hallway cupboard stacked with colourful jigsaw puzzle boxes and a handwritten notebook

Margaret runs a puzzle library from her hallway cupboard: eighty jigsaws, a borrowing notebook, and one rule written in capitals — EVERY PIECE GOES BACK. In five years, only one piece has gone missing, and Margaret still brings it up the way sea captains discuss storms.

Members report that the real attraction is the notebook, which has evolved into a review column. "Lovely sky section, brutal water. 4 stars." — Derek, age 71.

What is your unreasonably specific house rule?
