Geocache Description:

Explore features inside the Polk City Library to unlock this Travel Bug hotel. This Cache is extremely kid friendly; children should take swag without needing to leave anything. Open only during library hours.


This Travel Bug Hotel is only available between the hours of:

Monday-Wednesday 9AM - 7PM, Thursday 9AM - 8PM, Friday 9AM - 5PM, Saturday 9AM - 3PM, Sunday closed. Check the library website for holidays or updated hours: https://www.polkcityia.gov/library

Thanks to the Polk City Library Board and the staff of the Library for permission to place this Cache. This is a public building so please follow all rules.

The coordinates listed above are not the location of the Cache but the entry point to the Polk City Library; the Cache is inside the library.

The Cache is located next to the display case by check-out desk in the library, but the Cache itself has a three digit combination lock. To open the lock, you need to find each of the three digits which are written on small white circular stickers hidden around the library based on the clues listed below. Move the dials on the combination lock by looking at the SIDE of the lock and reading from top to bottom. An arrow on the lock indicates the top.

The librarian does not know the combination.

Those with children are welcome to take swag from the cache without needing to trade. Please do not let your children take travel bugs unless you intend to move them along.

CLUES to where to find the white stickers with the combination:

Top digit- this will keep you warm as you sit and read on a cold winter's day

Middle digit- what's on display in the case this month?
Bottom digit- last digit of the year in which this building opened as the new Library (not a sticker- it's engraved!)

 

The hints are give-aways so don't peek unless you have to!
