The Great Library Adventure GPL Mystery Cache

Welcome to the first Geocaching Library Book of our series. We got this idea from another library book cache that we found in a free library and had the idea of putting a book in a public library. After jumping through many hoops and a bit of legwork my two boys and I were able to get permission from the Library Committee to place a book on the shelf inside the library. In order to find this book you will visit the posted coordinates in order to solve a math problem. Once you have solved the problem you will be able to determine the call number of the book that is directly next to our Library Book Cache that has no call number on it. The call number that you will solve for will be located in the Adult Non-fiction section on the second floor. You can solve this mystery when the library is not open but you will need to visit the library when it is open to sign the log. You may not claim this cache without signing the log please. When arriving at the posted coordinates, you will be searching for a three digit number on a wall nearby (ABC). The last three digits of the posted North coordinates (DEF) and the last three digits of the posted West coordinates (XYZ) are the other numbers you will need. 

ABC + DEF + XYZ - 65= the call number

Good luck and happy hunting!

The Georgetown Peabody Library began on September 19, 1866 by a generous gift from George Peabody. George Peabody’s interest in the town was due to the fact that it was the birthplace of his mother, Judith (Dodge) Peabody, and for many years the home of his sister, Mrs. Judith Peabody Russell Daniels, who lived at 25 East Main Street.

In 1866, at the laying of the cornerstone of the Peabody Memorial Church, which he donated the necessary funds to build in memory of his mother, he announced to those assembled that he was also donating the funds to establish a public library in Georgetown. Built on Library Street, directly behind the Peabody Memorial Church, the wood framed Italianate library was designed by the Boston architectural firm of Bryant & Gilman, completed in 1867, but not opened until July 3, 1869.

In 1904, construction began on a new library building at Lincoln Park. Lincoln Park was deeded to the town by Milton J. Tenney and Lucy Tenney Brown in memory of their father, George J. Tenney, a Building Committee member for the first library on Library Street. The library was designed by the Boston architectural firm of Cooper & Bailey and built by contractor Edwin H. George, and was opened to the public on September 1, 1909.
