The Charlotte Mecklenburg Library is one of America’s leading urban public libraries, serving a community of more than one million citizens in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina. Through 20 locations, targeted outreach and online, the Library delivers exceptional services and programs, with a mission to improve lives and build a stronger community. In short, we strive to be essential to our community.
Since our founding in 1903, as an original Carnegie Library, our role as a provider of lifelong education in this community has never been more relevant. As stewards of the community's trust and resources, we work hard every day to provide valuable experiences. Our customers, staff and supporters inspire us each day to be an essential resource for our community.
Cache Information:

This is a multi-cache, all of the information you need to find the final stage is right in front of you, and it's fairly easy. Do not ask the librarians for any help outside of finding the reference section, they have been asked not to divulge any information about the whereabouts of the cache.

Again, this cache was placed here with the permission of the library and it's staff.
Let's Start!
The Coordinates above should lead you to Stage 1 located outside the library. To complete this stage you will need a QR Scanner or a smartphone with an app installed (Newer iPhones have a QR Scanner built into the camera, but it opens the text in safari). I would recommend screenshotting the text, then you can follow the clues from the scan to the Final!
Quick Note: I am aware that the library book needed to solve for the final could be checked out, and while the book is easier to use, all of the clues are solvable without the use of the book involved. You can google clues #1 and #3, and clue #2 only has 9 different possibilities (check the hint).
FTF Honors go to therapaint! Less than an hour after the cache was published!
