Red Bud Public Library is a Geocaching Location in Red Bud
Geocaching is a GPS-enabled treasure hunt played in over 190 countries across the world.  In this game, outdoor enthusiasts follow GPS coordinates to explore new locations and find caches hidden by fellow geo-explorers in public spaces.  Geocaching started in early 2000 as a way of testing the accuracy of GPS receivers.  Caches may contain any number of small items, or they may only contain a logbook for players to sign to mark their find.  You must use stealth when caching so containers are not removed by non-cachers.  Once you sign the log, the container is to be put back in the same spot.
