The North Olympic Library System (NOLS) hosted its first regional crossword puzzle contest this past Saturday in Sequim. Mary Givins and Joseph Fountain were the lone Sequim contestants to participate at Locally Known Cowork.

Two more contests take place: from 10 a.m.-noon Saturday, Nov. 23, at the Port Angeles Library, 2210 S. Peabody St.; and, from 10 a.m.-noon Saturday, Dec. 14, at the Forks Library, 171 S. Forks Ave.

Contestants are not given access to the internet, and have two hours to complete three crossword puzzles.

While Givins and Fountain competed individually, teams of two are welcome.

If no team completes all three puzzles, the team with the most correct answers will win with winners announced the following Tuesday on NOLS’ Facebook page. For more information about library events, visit nols.org/events.
