Geocache Description:


I love Library caches, doesn't everyone??!?!  They are great for days of rain, snow, bitter cold or sweltering heat!  They always have bathrooms, drinking fountains, and they are always ADA Compliant!

 

Field Puzzle Method:

Go to the physical alternates coordinates provided below.  Find the directions in a typical location and follow them. 

Letterbox Method:

So here are your letter box directions:   The posted cordinates are where to start, but don't linger as this is a busy road.  Take the drive due south and park your car.  Go through the double doors and once in the lobby make a hard right turn.  Directly ahead of you are the stacks of books.  On one of the selves amungst the many stacks is the book you seak.  Feel free to search all the stacks one by one.  It's not a huge library since it's not the main one, but it is still an impressive library and there are a lot of stacks!

 

If more of a hint is what you want, decode this for the much needed clue:  The book is found at: eziyisikhombisa Nine Sithupha amaphuzu amahlanu amane   Happy Hunting!  Note although this is Dewey, it's not in the "card Catalog" or Library search engine.  The staff probably wont be able to help you with finding it either, but they all know about it. 

 

Thanks to KPL Branch Manager Andrea Vernola and her staff.  She approved this cache, helped place it, and camofloge it!
