We made a hollowed-out book cache and placed it on the shelves among the books at our local library. It is a multi-cache with stage 1 being outside the library. The cacher will find directions in Stage 1 (a magetic hide-a-key) to tell them how to go into the library to use the Patron Access Catalog (the digital replacement of the card catalog) to locate the cache on the shelves. The library staff is very pleased with the cache because it gets people into the library and teaches them how to use the digital card catalog. The advantages of using this kind of cache actually in a library is that the probability of it being muggled is very low. Also folks are learning how to use the tools of the local library.

I just used this video to make one for my little free library. It came out well.....with no blood drawn. :) Thanks for the video! I hope it lasts for a nice long time.
We hid a cache in a little free library and the cache got muggled. If you go to our Facebook page, facebook.com/Goblincamper2004/ you can go to the post from July 2019 and see what we did. Unfortunately, the cache had to be archived due to the fact it was muggled.
there are easier ways to do this. and it stinks,because this was going to be pt 1 to my puzzle cache in a little free library. now I'm worried it will be too easy.
That’s horrible to do to a book!! I don’t think in a million years I’d ever find a book I’d be willing to gut...maybe one of those novelty books with no content, just all blank pages.

Hope it doesn't get "muggled" xD

This makes me want to hide a geocache in my university library!

I have a Little Free Library. This would get taken in a heartbeat.
Exactly when should I slice open my finger?
there was one i found that has been muggled many times like this it was a book on parenting
+Steve Desmarais Same here. They ended up putting a small magnetic contain on the inside up on the ceiling.
+tweetnes that's not very hidden...
Steve Desmarais Unless you knew what you were looking for you can not see it at all. I missed it the 1st time because I was looking for a book.
Good idea! Thanks for sharing!
You make it look easy =D
But what if someone takes your geocache, thinking its a book they are free to take?
+Spy Guy1 Make it something really boring, like Ross Geller's Doctoral Dissertation
+Spy Guy1 Use a dictionary nobody takes them.
put a lock on it
I like this
I hollowed out a book when I was a kid. I wish I had drilled out the corners like this. That was the biggest pain in the ass.
This is the next birdhouse...
GREAT!!!!!!!!
Maybe the Harry Potter book will get Muggled!
I did this a while ago but it was stolen within 3 days
Cool
Do I also need to cut my finger to make this?
Draftmission Blood 🩸 helps to draw in vampire cachers
Yes. A blood sacrifice is required in the creation of this geocache.
is this book wonder?
POV you pick that book and be like tf
That seems terrible to cut up a Harry Potter book, but still a very cool idea. I think I'd like to try that. Hmmmm.... ;-)
Seems like it would be muggled pretty easily.

I'm surprised mine is still there after a month
Why does every geocacher have at least 1 ammo box from the 60s lol
But it's a Harry Potter book...
Hold up you did not do that to a Harry Potter book 😭😭
WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT TO A HARRY POTTER BOOK
And I make

What about a Bible?
Disliked just because you defaced a Harry Potter book.
