We just hid our first 3 letterboxes and they're at Baxter Memorial Library in Gorham. The kids carved the stamps (that means not to expect anything elaborate) themselves after Fino made the "boxes" (which required a creative touch and his favorite power tool). The clues are very kid-friendly but if you have trouble cracking the code to any of the clues, just ask one of the Children's Room librarians for assistance. They are eager to help kids learn to letterbox.

Since letterboxing.org went down last week and is still offline, we can't register our letterboxes there yet. So, if you have any questions and/or comments about our letterboxes, post a comment here. We'd love to hear from families that find them. And my kids can't wait to see some new stamps in their box logbooks.
