Geocaching
I could be wrong but I think I have found something cool and computerised to talk to my 11 year old tech-head son about that he might not already know about!! Yay, for Geocaching (oh no,now I sound like Lee Lefevre and should be waving finger and thumb about)! I suppose it could be used in a fun way to introduce young people to the library. We could let schools know, hide our cache in the library and wait for the invasion! I liked the way the University of Notre Dame (US)used it to get first year students familiar with the campus and libraries. It will appeal to some and not to others but if it gets some people reluctant library users to venture through those doors, it might serve a purpose. The Great Race Mandurah might also introduce participants to other cultural sites around the city.

Geocaching is definitely something that the Information centre should think about as a way of promoting Mandurah!
ReplyDeleteExactly right - I also thought this would be an excellent way to engage young children. Libraries would be kool and appeal to the gaming enthusiasts.
