 Library to hold Letterboxing & Geocaching Workshop

Learn about the outdoor treasure-hunt style activities letterboxing and geocaching in this FREE, all-ages workshop. 

We'll show you how to get started with letterboxing - an outdoor pursuit that combines orienteering, art and puzzle solving. We'll also cover the basics of geocaching, which involves hunting for and finding hidden objects using GPS coordinates.

The workshop runs from 4-6 p.m. on Tuesday, May 23, in the Imaginarium.

For more information, call 459-3400, ext. 3422.
