I had printed out the bookcrossing label in the winter, but I wanted to wait until it was nicer out before I released the book into the wild.
I was looking for locations where other people had released books in Elmira in the past, and I noticed that Grove Park was one of them. Since I hid my first geocache in Grove Park, I decided to release the book, Mr. Monk and the Blue Flu, into the wild while I did maintenance on my geocache.
It’s a great time to put the book out because the park is beginning to get used again since it is Spring now. I put the book on the picnic table bench under the Hal Roach Pavilion.
Bookcrossing is a really nice idea, as I love the idea of combining a treasure hunt like goecaching with something beneficial like reading. Right now my book is the only book in Elmira, and I’d love to see that change. So, I’m definitely going to be releasing more bookcrossing books in the future. :)
