Geocache Description:


Libraries are wonderful!  Books, magazines, movies, computers, super helpful people.  And libraries are generally quiet so you can concentrate (ok, not so quiet anymore).  Fiction, non-fiction, maps, and so much more!  I loved libraries as a kid, and as a grown up, still do!

The cache is held by the librarian.  To get the cache, you have to go to Front Desk, ask for the cache, and tell them the Password.

To figure out the Password, look at the plaque on the wall that is Dedicated in Memory of Dr Peter Garvin.  There are 17 words on that plaque.  Use those words to determine the Password.

The Password is two words, four letters in the first word, five letters in the second word, as follows:  1 2 3 4    5 6 7 8 9 , where each number is a letter to be found on the plaque.

1 = 5th letter of 6th word on the plaque.

2 = 2nd letter of 1st word.

3 = 6th letter of 1st word.

4 = 5th letter of 15th word.

5 = 1st letter of 15th word.

6 = 4th letter of 3rd word.

7 = 1st letter of 4th word.

8 = the letter in the alphabet that come directly before the 1st letter in the 14th word.

9 = 3rd letter of 9th word.

There are goodies in the cache itself, but of course there is plenty more in the library itself!
