People leave caches of items in different locations and others can endeavour to find them with the help of a GPS enabled device and the coordinates obtained from a site such as Geocaching Australia.
Its just a matter of logging on and get the co-ordinates and then go seeking!
I can't see that I would personally get into this though a lot of people really seem to enjoy it. Maybe I need to actually give it a go one day when I have nothing to do.....
I can't see much of a use for this in our particular library but perhaps it could be used in a much broader scope, such as for the whole shire, covering more community services other than just the library.
But you love running around in the bush!!
ReplyDeleteGeocaching was least appealing to me as basically I am not an outdoor adventurous, treasure hunting person! Libraries May introduce to younger energetic readers to encourage them to use the libraries more appropriately with well-designed purpose-oorientated geocacahing program.
ReplyDeletei don't really much use for in a library, maybe a bigger one. There are people who seem to find it entertaining.
ReplyDeleteLibrary Ninja likes the theme of your blog and also thinks he should give geocaching a chance one day as he loves technology that gets people away from their desk and out and about.
