Geocache Description:


Some books are worth rereading and some caches are worth rehiding.  This is a relisting of a cache hidden by Hessclan, Happy 12th, GC3JC5K. 

This cache is available when the library is open. https://altoonalibrary.org/

The posted coordinates lead you to an item.  The number of visible paws on this item times two will be A.  The number of visible claws on this item minus ten will be D. 

Now you'll need to enter the library for the rest of the puzzle.  In the middle level, near the elevators, is a postage stamp.  The cent value of the stamp divided by three is BC. 

In the highest level, near the stairs and the zoological science section (599), there are three portraits.  Take the first, fifth, and seventh letters of Patricia's last name. 
 

Now you're ready to find the container.  Look for ABC.D 157
