Books & Puzzles for All Ages

26 Categories of Books in the Shop

One large room is filled with books and puzzles for all ages. The books are sorted into 26 categories so you can easily find your favorite mysteries, best sellers, cookbooks, children’s books, and coffee table books. Here is a small sample of more than 2,000 items that will be available in the Books & Puzzles Shop at the Bazaar on Sept. 21, 9 am – 3:00 pm. During the summer, more books and puzzles will be donated by residents, and we will update this page. 

Judy Johnson is the chair of the Book & Puzzle Shop Committee. Come visit this page of the Bazaar website later this summer to see what special “finds” she will feature. She would love to visit with you at the Bazaar on Saturday, September 21 from 9 am – 3 pm.

Ron Diller Brings Joy to Kids & Parents with His Wooden Puzzles

Ron Diller is an accomplished woodworker and the son of a Covenant Living at the Holmstad resident. He has again graciously donated several wooden puzzles for the September 21 Bazaar.

Ron reports, “I’ve been producing these puzzles for seven years and through the years have used existing patterns and developed some of my own patterns and designs.  Some puzzles are painted, and others left natural wood.  

“Seasonal puzzles (Christmas, Halloween, Easter, etc.) are my favorite ones to make and I try to come up with different designs every year. They’ve brought a lot of joy to kids and parents, and I enjoy coming up with new designs as I continue to produce them.”
