This cache is one of seven in my "Let's Read" Library Series of caches (see details below.)

It also contains a question to help solve the seventh "Let's Read Puzzle Cache."

Let's Read Library Series

Background
In 2000, the residents of San Jose voted to pass a $212 million Library Bond Measure to build 6 new branches and remodel 14 of the 17 neighborhood libraries.

We are now enjoying the benefits of several new and remodeled neighborhood branches that not only include state-of-the-art libraries, but also provide Internet cafes, public art displays, and even community centers.

Our family spends enough time visiting our local libraries that we felt it was quite fitting to put together our own "Let's Read" series at our favorite local branches.

Details about this Series
Here are the seven caches in the "Let's Read" Library Series:

Note: The "Let's Read Puzzle Cache" requires you to find the other six caches first, and answer the library-related question included with each of the six caches. Don't forget to write down and save your answers to all six questions if you want to find the "Let's Read Puzzle Cache."

The Almaden Library
The Almaden branch re-opened on May 13th, 2006 as a joint library and community center. This 64,740-square-foot, two-story building is a very popular and busy place, even when the library is closed.

My family used this library (and nearby park) when our local Santa Teresa library was closed for construction. We took a few classes at the community center here, too.

There's a really cool dychroic glass chandelier hanging from the lobby ceiling called "Spectral Cloud," made by Ray King. Check it out!

Congratulations to DougK and Capt. Korns for being FTF!
