Little Free Libraries in Livermore will host a âHunt for Gnomesâ from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 7, in celebration of Global Day of Unplugging.
Global Day of Unplugging is sponsored by the Unplug Collaborative, a nonprofit organization that encourages people to put down their electronic devices for a âtech-free experience.â
Clues for tracking down the gnomes will be available at more than two dozen Little Free Libraries sites in the Livermore area for a week preceding the scavenger hunt.
The day of the scavenger hunt, participants will report the gnomes they find and be entered in a drawing for prizes donated by Towne Center Books, Alden Lane Nursery, Wingen Bakery, R.J. Ammon Chiropractic, and Mozart, Einstein & Me.

iTWire Monday, 12 April 2021 11:49 Aussies spend almost 17 years in a ‘lifetime’ on their mobiles
Shares
The average Australian will spend 16.6 years of their life on their mobile phone - equating to 5.5 hours every day or a total of 145,800 hours - based on the average age of around 10 years old that we get our first phone - and average Australian life expectancy.
At least, that’s the estimate of Aussie mobile phone use over a lifetime of scrolling, tweeting, watching, liking, and reading, by
reviews.org, which surveyed 1,000 Australians about their mobile phone screen time - then factored in the average number of years that we own a smartphone - and compared that to current average life expectancies, and calculated against the average number of waking hours (about 16.7 hours).
Our phones, laptops, TVs, and video game consoles have kept us connected and entertained during the long pandemic. But those same devices are also taking a toll our health by disrupting our sleep cycles, keeping us sedentary and feeding our depression. Kim Cavallo of the Unplug Collaborative helps explain why and how to take a break from our screens.
