There will be caching war stories, sharing of trackables, and other fun event activities. This would be a great introduction for a new cacher. The event will be held indoors (with air conditioning) rain or shine.
The building is wheelchair accessible and there is plenty of parking; even a RIPTA bus stop. The address is 1315 Chopmist Hill Rd, North Scituate, RI 02857
We have had many books donated to the Little Free Library, as well as a lot of visits to its Geocache and Letterbox. It has been very well received! We restock it whenever a space frees up, but we have more books than we expect to need and it maintains its stock level fairly well on its own. We thought of this event as a way to give back to our town, and get together with other cachers. The building hosting the LFL also houses the town food bank and Human Services office.
We encourage you to bring books to swap. You may also bring food to share and/or something to donate to the food bank, if you like. The LFL is most in need of children's books, and there will be many books to swap... in fact, the books lining the shelves in the senior center are up for swapping this time, too!
Each table contains fiction books unless marked otherwise. There is no requirement to swap at all, in fact, you are welcome to just come and meet some of your fellow cachers. We would love to see you!
We will be able to give away a trackable courtesy of Uncle Rodney's.
RecipeForDisaster built Scituate's first Little Free Library (with the help of a handy friend). We have visited many Little Free Libraries in different parts of the country. We think they go very well with Geocaching!
What is a Little Free Library? According to their website: It’s a “take a book, return a book” gathering place where neighbors share their favorite literature and stories. In its most basic form, a Little Free Library is a box full of books where anyone may stop by and pick up a book (or two) and bring back another book to share. You can, too!
About the property: Originally constructed in 1815, the Inn served as a stop for stagecoaches traveling between Hartford and Providence throughout the 19th century, and accommodated hundreds of guests for clambakes, banquets, and other events in more recent years.
