Instructions


This Multi will require you to explore the library grounds and discover different plaques of
information.  You'll first have to search outside the library, and then inside to find the final
location.  This cache is meant to be a way to discover something new you may have never seen
before.  It's best to bring a piece of paper and writing utensil with you to make notes and help keep
track of your information for the final location. Good luck! 


Stage 1 - Bench Plaques


You will first need to visit this location that is outside of the library.  Here you will see two different
benches that will have information to help you.  Make sure you follow the directions and keep your
numbers in order.  In this stage, you are looking for 3 numbers that will signify the location of the
cache container inside the library. Answer the following questions:


___ How many first names appear on the 2 plaques?
___ How many times does the name Patricia appear?
___ How many letters are in the last name of the plaque to the right of the front door?


With that 3 digit number, you will now need to go to stage 2 to find the second part of the code.

 

Stage 2 - Tree Plaque 

For the second stage of this multi you will need to walk around to the right of the library entrance.
Ove here you will see a tree that has a plaque in front of it. The last name on this plaque is shared
by the author of the book you will be searching for inside the library.

 

Final Stage 

The final piece of information you need in order to look for the cache container is the section of the
library. With the 3 digit code and the author, you will be able to go inside and search out the cache
container in the Reference section.

Please make sure you utilize stealth when retrieving this cache. You can easily remove it from
its section and have a seat at the nearby tables to sign the log and swap out any swag. Please
replace the cache in the correct section/location for the next cacher.
