Check Out a Geocaching Kit at Westborough Public Library

From Westborough Public Library: Go outside and explore with your friends and family - and take the library's Geocaching Kit along with you! For those not familiar with the term, geocaching is a real-world outdoor treasure hunt. Players use a GPS-enabled device to navigate to specific geographic coordinates, then try to find the geocache (some kind of container) hidden there. Each geocache has a log book inside that you sign, and sometimes there are small items inside that you can take. Good geocache etiquette says if you take something from a cache you should leave something of equal or greater value inside.

The library's kit includes a handheld Garmin eTrex 20x GPS device and a copy of The Complete Idiot's Guide to Geocaching. Staff have pre-loaded all the Westborough geocaches on the device, along with a number of caches in surrounding towns. Headed on vacation? Load up the device with your destination's geocaches and search for treasure while you're there!
