Hometown Scrapbooks - Brainstorm

Since libraries all over the country are doing the themes "One World, Many Stories" and "You Are Here" I thought it might be within the theme to have the kids/teens connect with other kids/teens in other parts of the country. You could have a program where the kids make a scrapbook or 'zine' about their city by bringing in photos, letters, poems, urban legends, and stories about their hometown. Then trade copies of your publication with other libraries in other states. Librarians all over the country are looking for cheap programing so you could use a listserv such as PUBLIB or PUBYAC to find a least one who would be interested in trading scrapbooks. You can then keep the scrapbooks of the other cities on display over the coarse of the Summer Reading Program. Thoughts?
