Geocaching

At last the end is in sight and I have been discovering the fun stuff of geocaching. Already I have heard staff incorporating it into a fun filled weekend with the kids. It would seem libraries in America are right up there with incorporating this one into their library programs. At a recent staff meeting we identified that we are very good at supplying services to particular focus groups like storytime and rhyme time to our youngest clients and Library lovers events for our more senior clients. How many of us have complained at some time about the disruptive behaviour of our young adults in the library? But what programs have we got for our young adults? Perhaps with a little imagination geocaching is a the answer that can fill this void.

  1. I agree, this could be a good way of engaging that in-between crowd.

  2. running this sort of program would require someone enthusiastic about it who knew all the pitfulls that could happen with particapting in it, but it could be of interest to young people or families so perhaps worth doing, as long as I don't have to run it!
