Geocaching

On a personal level I do not think I will embrace geocaching.  I have a few outdoor activities now that it would be difficult to fit in another.  I am an avid walker and paddle weather permitting and I would like to squeeze in more golf.  However, I do think it would be a fabulous young family activity and I can image it could add some great fun to a family outing.

In the library environment I thought the first year student geocaching activity hosted by the University of Notre Dame a great idea and an excellent format to involve new students.  I could envisage a group of libraries, for example libraries in the Peel region, setting up a geocache network.  The ultimate goal would be public awareness of libraries in a particular region and a great marketing strategy to promote libraries by being involved in gaming activities, a new gaming activity to interest young family groups.
