Name a Spot
The Missing Puzzle Piece
Every library jigsaw has one.
Unknown, by definition
Nobody knows where it is. Naming it will not help find it. That is not the point.
The Missing Puzzle Piece has been named. The name is settled; gifts toward it are still welcome below.

This naming is purely ceremonial. It conveys no ownership, physical signage, reserved access, or operational authority of any kind. The Missing Puzzle Piece remains at the library, for everyone.
Why It Matters
The storytimes, welcoming spaces, useful technology, and small details that make a child feel at home in the library do not happen by accident. They come from dedicated library staff, and from neighbors who choose to help fund something beyond the minimum.
From Summer Reading to equipment, training, programs, and improvements to library spaces, Friends support helps turn good ideas into memorable experiences.
Every naming is ceremonial. The help it provides is real.
