Frequently Asked Questions
What is Geocaching?

How does this work at the library?
Our caches are virtual. You will follow clues to find a QR code at each library. When you find the cache, scan the QR code and fill out the Google form. If you are a party of more than one, you will have to fill out the form for each participant.
Who can participate?
Anyone can! This is an all-ages event and a great opportunity to take the family out and about for the summer. As long as you have a library card in good standing with any library, your log entry will enter you into that prize drawing too.
