This cache has been archived.

Tricky Phoenix: Unfortunately due to issues with Kent County Council and the local management team at Folkestone Library I have decided to withdraw this much loved geocache. Congratulations to everyone who found this geocache, it was my first one so it means so much to have received 44 favourite points and very kind comments.
KCC libraries will be reducing their hours and closing the Heritage Room which hosted this geocache, unfortunately they were not prepared to allow me to use the main library.

Geocache Description:


The Lexicographer's Cache

Originally built in 1886 Folkestone Library is an amazing Grade 2 listed purpose-built building. Situated in Grace Hill the library has undergone many refurbishments and roles throughout history. It is now host to over 20,000 books and articles and is a very important community resource in the heart of Folkestone. They provide internet facilities, birth and death registrations and free reading for everyone.

The cache is a regular size container and contains SWAG and a log book: original stash included a Stop Watch, Colouring Pencils, Trackable Ducks, Shells, Badges, Keyrings, plus much more! As this is a letterbox cache, there is a stamp in the cache this is not to be swapped, please bring a stamp pad. The container is locked so the contents doesn't fall out, please lock and replace key after you have signed, stamped and swapped!

There are lots of muggles in the area and the cache is situated in a quiet part of the building.

I hid this cache with kind permission from Kent County Council, Libraries Registration and Archives.
