Ready! Set!! READ!!!
Arlington Public Library and SouthWest Arlington Geocachers are partnering once again to bring you adventures in reading, fun summer activities, and a geocaching challenge. We hope you will Exercise Your Mind by reading a few books this summer and by finding the dozen caches we have hidden for you. Each of the caches this year will take you to a place where you can exercise or participate in a sport or just find a quiet place under a tree to read those books.
Find all 12 caches and receive a commemorative tag (first 90 finders by July 31st).
If you would like to participate in the Adult Summer Reading Program and be eligible for additional fun prizes, pick up a reading log from the library or enter online. Your goal is to read at least five hours between June 4 and July 30.
A book for you to add to your reading list: "A Walk in the Woods: Rediscovering America on the Appalachian Trail" by Bill Bryson
After living for many years in England, Bill Bryson moved back to the United States and decided to reacquaint himself with his country by taking to this uninterrupted "hiker's highway." "A Walk in the Woods" showcases Bryson at the height of his comic powers.
