Geocache Description:


This cache is part of the Valley Cities GeoTour 2019. If you are participating in the GeoTour, be sure to record each cache's code word or punch in your series passport to verify your visit. There are 40 caches placed throughout the four cities to take you to a variety of interesting or beautiful locations, and provide you with fun and informative geocaching experiences.

2019 is the first year of a formal GeoTour for the expanded geocaching adventure in the cities of Auburn, Kent, Renton & Maple Valley, Washington. Auburn Parks, Arts and Recreation, auburntourism.com, visitkent, the Port of Seattle and the WSGA are stakeholders in this GeoTour. There are 10 caches placed in each city. The geocaches highlight some scenic outdoor area, park, trail, or general area of interest in these cities. We hope you enjoy visiting the area, learning about its natural beauty and interesting outdoor areas. You can visit the website for information about lodging discounts, restaurant, brewery and other discounts that are available while you are visiting our area.
This final for this geocache is located inside the Auburn Public Library, a branch of the King County Library System with permission of Library staff.

The library is open:
Monday - Thursday 10am - 9:00pm
Friday 10am - 6:00pm
Saturday 10:00am - 5:00pm
Sunday 1:00pm - 5:00pm
Closed on holidays.


At the posted coordinates look for a container with information on where the geocache is located within the Auburn Library. At the final, look for a code word rather than a punch.

Library Poem
by Julia Donaldson

Everyone is welcome to walk through the door.
It really doesn't matter if you're rich or poor.
There are books in boxes and books on shelves
They're free for you to borrow, so help yourselves.

Come and meet your heros, old and new.
From William the Conquerer to Winnie the Pooh.
You can look into the mirror or read The Times,
Or bring along a toddler to chant some rhymes.

The librarian is a friend who loves to lend.
So see if there's a book that she can recommend.
Read that book, and if you're bitten
You can borrow all the others that author's written.

Are you into battles or biography?
Are you keen on gerbils or geography?
Gardening or Ghosts? Sharks or Science Fiction?
There's something here for everyone, whatever your addiction.

There are students revising, deep in concentration.
And school kids doing projects, finding inspiration.
Over in the corner there's a table with seating,
So come along and join in the book club meeting.

Yes, come to the Library! Browse and borrow,
And help make sure it'll still be here tomorrow.
