Geocache Description:

Find a little first clue/ nano at this location, use the hint to find the real, indoor larger cache, disguised!   Founded in 1792, Shrewsbury Public Library had a Grand Re-Opening in 2017. The scouts love to learn and read! Since the second part is an indoor cache, you will need to note their hours.  Thank your librarians for helping the scouts!

 

 

 


 

Library hours are:  Monday - Thursday  9 a.m. - 9 p.m. Friday 10 a.m. - 5 p.m. Saturday 9 a.m. - 5 p.m. Sunday 1 p.m.- 5 p.m.  but check the web for updates here  https://shrewsburyma.gov/344/Library

Special thanks to Ellen and Walker for supporting our cache! We love librarians, seekers of knowledge, stewards of the greatest institutions in all America!

If you like a little extra credit quiz, here is a nice added history test:

1. What color was the original library mobile (see history showcase near potty)?

2.  What was the original tax that payed for the library in our town (hint, three letter word)?  

3. Why are there more men (~5) on the display near the front door and more women (~2) near the history section displayed inside?

4. In 50 years, what will libraries be like?

 

In your posts/logs, do not spoil for responses to 1 and 2, but we would love to know what you think about 3 and 4.

 

Enjoy, be sure to notice art, table games, patio for all ages and so much diversity at our lovely library. One German Trackable for FTF (TB6GY04). Congrats to BD1982 for FTF, your prize awaits, next time I C U.
