Description:

Spend an hour or so browsing your public library. What catches your attention? What makes you pause? It may be people watching. There may be a poster that intrigues you. The titles of new books. In a library, the list is literally endless.

This isn't about in-depth research or checking out books or attending a program. It's simply an hour (or more) of walking around discovering things.

Take a notebook with you. Jot down the things you discover. And before you leave, pick up at least two free handouts. Libraries have all sorts of free resources available (bookmarks, fliers, brochures, maps, stickers, magazines, etc.) That's what you'll be looking for to send to your partner. Aim to have one of them have the name of your library on it -- not a requirement, but nice.

Send your partner a list or letter about what you discovered in the library during your venture AND the two freebie items.

The fine print: International. Snail mail. Group membership.

I'd really like to encourage everyone to join this swap. For the first round, I spent an incredibly productive and enlightening 1 hour 40 minutes in a library this past Saturday. I'm in the library all the time, but had NEVER encountered the ideas, resources and inspiration that came from that dedicated browsing time.

Great Idea. We have a lovely library that is always filled to the brim with people reading, having cafe, will do this swap.
