Miner's Library--Plz read description b4 searching Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

knhdah: It is with great sadness that we are archiving this cache. It's had a good 5 year run, and was often the first cache that many a new geocacher found. However, with so many muggles visiting the little library, the cache itself was constantly being taken and/or any SWAG that it had, promptly walked away. Hopefully someone else can figure out a more permanent container, because it's a great spot that gets a lot of traffic :)

Geocache Description:

This family friendly cache originally combined two of our daughter's very favorite things when she was younger:  Minecraft and Books :)     Now she is older, and has moved on to other things. But we still love little libraries, so wanted to keep this one here.  


When our friends put up a Little Free Library on our neighborhood's green space, we thought, "How cool!  And what a perfect place for a cache!"  We approached them about sharing the space, and they loved the idea.  Plenty of parking is close by (see parking waypoint).   Also feel free to bring a book to exchange in the library if you'd like.  Cache container is large enough to hold travel bugs and trade items related to Minecraft :) You will need to bring your own pen to sign the log.

***Congratulations to Flannel_Man for FTF!***

11/30/17 Update: New Private Property signs have been put up by our neighborhood association, at many of the green space entrances. These state the area is to be used by homeowners & invited guests only. We would like this cache to be able to remain where it is, as "just another item in the library to be enjoyed by everyone". So please, be respectful when visiting, as would be expected of any homeowner or invited guests. Happy Caching!

06/25/20 Update: This cache has seen many changes over its short life, including its container (multiple versions), and placement in/on/around the library itself. Regrettably, because there are a lot of little muggles who visit this spot for books, it's not possible to stock the cache with much SWAG, if any. In that same vein, travel bugs (TBs) may not be 100% safe to leave here :( There is a label attached to the cache container, explaining what it is, and to not take the toys, prizes, etc., unless you're a cacher. But unfortunately, that's ignored most of the time. In fact, once someone took the whole cache, because it was a Minecraft-themed notebook...Anyway, just wanted to give an explanation on why goodies are pretty rare in this cache. Sorry if this is disappointing, but we hope you can still enjoy it!
