It\u2019s time to grab a good book and make sure your voice doesn\u2019t rise above a strong whisper because today\u2019s geocaching outing takes us to the library. In the years since geocaching started, library caches emerged as a genre of creative caches. It makes sense; with all those reading corners, books, and shelves, a library has many places that make great hiding spots to place a geocache after getting hiding permission. Plus, the quiet atmosphere of a library with patrons wrapped up in books and magazines makes it easy to keep a low profile as you search for a geocache. Read on for four examples of this special genre of geocache.<\/p>\n

1. Environmental Excellence<\/strong>
\nGC46CQ0<\/a> D 2.5\/T 1.5<\/p>\n

The coordinates for this Multi-Cache lead to a container hidden in a rose garden outside a public library in Oregon in the United States. To find the final location, you\u2019ll have to find a plaque in the rose garden. With numbers on the plaque and information in the container, you\u2019ll be able to solve a pattern leading you to the final coordinates.<\/p>\n

2. Biblioteca de S\u00e3o L\u00e1zaro<\/strong>
\nGC9N4JC<\/a> D 1\/ T 1<\/p>\n

This library cache is a Letterbox-Hybrid, located in the oldest public library in Lisbon, Portugal. Finding the geocache will take you on a journey through the library\u2019s beautiful building. At the posted coordinates you\u2019ll take note of a sign sharing the year of the library\u2019s construction. The numbers in the year provide what you need to follow the rest of the instructions on the cache page, traveling a specified distance in the building, looking at reference numbers of different books, and finally arriving at the final coordinates and the cache container.<\/p>\n

\nGC3HX55<\/a> D 1.5\/T 1<\/p>\n

4. Bibliothek Seeligstadt<\/strong>
\nGC6RP5K<\/a> D 1\/T 1<\/p>\n

Rather than a large public library building, this Traditional Cache is hidden in a small library in a bus stop in Seeligstadt, Germany. The small library is made up of a large rectangular wood container and set of drawers and shelves. Visitors can pick up a book, add one to the library\u2019s collection, or add another geocache to their find count.<\/p>\n
