Geocache Description:

This is small traditional cache with buttons, beads, and small trinkets for trade. There is no need to pry rocks out or trample the flower beds. It can be easily reached by an adult. The challenge will be muggle activity in this busy area. You will have to wait for the right time. Honestly, you will probably think it was not that hard when you find it.

Please do not retreive it or put it back if muggles are watching. The cache container has been maintained and has been put back in its original location after wandering a bit. Please make sure you put it back in the EXACT location.

A bit of history:
This site was named originally for Anna McCormick, the widow of industrial leader and secretary of the Weyerhaeuser Timber Company, who generously offered a gift of $25,000 in 1926 for its construction. She stated, “My idea in making the gift was simply to make possible for young and old the pleasure that books can give.”

However, when an addition was built and the building was renamed for another woman named Anna. It was said to be haunted. For a three week period in 1995 maintenance workers reported water faucets turned on, boxes falling to the floor, and one person saw the apparition of a gray-haired woman, possibly the Anna who originally funded the library and upset because it was renamed for another woman.
