Puzzle and Board Game Exchange

Drop Off Puzzles and Games
Through Friday, June 13
Looking for new puzzles and board games? Trade in up to 20 of your household’s gently used jigsaw puzzles, children’s puzzles, and board games. Please verify that all parts and instructions are in the boxes. Bring them to a service desk to receive a ticket for each one donated. Each ticket will be good for a puzzle or game the day of the exchange.

Exchange Day
Saturday, June 14, 2:00-4:00 p.m.
Come to the library's meeting room to see what has been donated and choose new games and puzzles! You must bring the tickets you received when you dropped off your items for exchange. No registration required.

Library Director Passing the Torch
Congratulations to Library Director Matthew Suddarth on his upcoming retirement! He has been our Director for more than 22 years, and has seen the library through our renovation project, the shift to more digital technologies, the rise of eBooks, and much more. During his retirement, he hopes to have more time to travel, visit loved ones, and bike across Illinois’ many beautiful trails.

We’d like to welcome our new Director, Joe Marcantonio! He has been an innovator in services to teens and young adults, with his most current position being Teen Manager at Schaumburg Township District Library. We’re glad to welcome him back to Winfield, as he was born and raised here. His first library job was as a page here at Winfield Library, and he’s now married to the woman he was dating back then. They have two children, ages 4 and 9. We look forward to welcoming Joe to the staff.

Matthew and Joe will be working together throughout June, before Matthew retires at the end of the month. We wish him all the best in his retirement.
