This is a bonus cache from the "Lithgow Library Literaries" Adventure Lab. This cache has a call number and is located within the library building. You can complete the adventure lab for the call number, and/or you can get the call number with the following hints.The adventure lab and this bonus cache are located within the Lithgow Library, so you'll have to go during library hours. However, you'll need to be on the outside of the building to solve these clues, so they can be solved any time. Special thanks to geocacher Jeph_Gileadite for his help with the outside waypoints and clues. If you live in the area and you don't already have one, consider applying for a library card while you're there. I use mine mostly to borrow Kindle books, audiobooks, and free passes to local attractions like the Children's Museum in Portland and State Parks. Having fun isn't hard when you've got a library card!
