"You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose!" -Dr. Seuss Libraries are such an important part of Springfield, and therefore, we honor a school librarian with this cache. In 1952, an elderly patron donated over $1 million dollars to a local branch, but did not want anything named after her, instead wanting a “real full service library with meeting space.”
This cache was placed to honor a retiring school library teacher. She has been loyal, honest, dedicated, kind, hardworking, unselfish, happy, loving; everyone deserves to have a friend like her. She is full of perseverance. Strong, out-spoken, yet knows how to hold her cards tight. A super advocate for libraries. A wealth of history will leave with her.
This cache is placed indoors at one of the branches of the public library in Springfield. To find the right branch you'll need to go to the posted coordinates: To find the W coordinates, consider 35.494 as a whole number. 35494 – the year Annie Curran donated money to a library branch + 399 = West Coordinates To find the N coordinates, 42 06.180. Take the 180. 180 + Dr. Seuss’ age when he died + the number of books he wrote + 341 = North Coordinates
