BOOK CACHING INFORMATION THREAD

24 February 2023

UPDATED Monday 27th February - thank you for letting me know that the Silchester book cache is missing a stamp! I will pop over on Wednesday and put it back in. In the meantime, if you already found the cache and would like to stamp your passport, just bring it to me in school and you can stamp it there!

BOOK CACHING IS GO!

Delighted to report that, thanks to my Book Week hero helpers, we have put the book caches out well ahead of schedule and they are all ready for you to begin first thing tomorrow morning!

I will check the caches regularly during the week and update this thread with any important news about their whereabouts. Nothing much to report yet, except that the cache at Bucklebury Farm is on the cafe counter in the farm shop, not the main cafe.

Please do support our local businesses as you go round, if you can - they are very excited to be supporting us! If you can't see a book cache, or you spot a problem with any of the caches, please do drop us a message and ask.

It was absolutely gorgeous out there today. Spring springing up all over the place. Enjoy your weekend and I hope you have the best time sharing books!

SEE YOU OUT THERE!
