Every town has a Story. And we hope that by solving the puzzle, you'll learn about the land where Exton Mall now sits.

This is a Puzzle Cache located in the Exton library in Chester County, PA. By solving the puzzle, you'll get the Call or Catalog number of the cache. It's in the Format: "AB 12345 XYZ" with a dot (period) between either the 2 and 3 or the 3 and 4 (12.345 or 123.45) of the example. There is no Call or Catalog number of "AB 12345 XYZ".
To solve the puzzle, you will need to visit two locations: the Zook Family display in Exton Mall and a statue outside the library. The Zook Family display is located on the lower level by the Information Desk.
