A book treasure found in Morris Park on the weekend.

Book Treasures Found! This weekend some very lucky people found book treasures in Morris Park. A bag with a note attached stated: “Congratulations! You are the lucky finder of this book. I hope you enjoy it. You may choose to read it or pass it on to someone else. Now it’s your turn. You may need an adult to help you. Choose a book that you no longer read, pop it and this note into the plastic bag and seal it up to protect it from the weather. Then the fun begins! Hide your book treasure in a place where other children will find it so they can enjoy a new book to read. If you like, you can take a photo of yourself finding, reading or hiding a book and post it to our Facebook group to help spread the word (that’s where you find out where to look for more books!)
