Geocache Description:

stopword

[stop-wurd]   noun

1. any of a number of very commonly used words (a, the, to, for, etc.) that are normally excluded by computer search engines or when compiling a concordance.

Since stopwords are not indexed, they cannot be used as search terms, but will appear when you print documents from a database.


Access to the cache is easy, in the building on the ground floor. The coordinates above will get you close to the cache. But you must first find its precise location, just as if you were looking for a library book. Placed with library director's permission and delight.

This Letterbox Hybrid cache is a medium sized container holding a small log book and stamp (as of 7/2021 no stamp pad provided). The stamp is for users who have their own personal journal book to record their finds. Please leave the stamp and log inside the container - replacing cache exactly where you pulled it.

This cache can only be accessed during the following hours:

Mon-Fri: 9:30am to 6:30pm

Sat: 9:00pm to 4:30pm

Sun: Closed

The outside doors often lock 5 minutes before closing.

Please do not attempt to remove the cache from the library.
