The Coos Bay Public Library mural is painted by local artist Megan Gray and features local flora and fauna. The Confederated Tribes of Coos, Lower Umpqua, and Siuslaw Indians provided translations of the flora names in the native Hanis language.

 

Use the mural to get the three digits you will need to open the cache:

1st digit: Number of letters in the Hanis language translation of Blackberry
2nd digit: Number of bees on the mural  
3rd digit: Number of different plants identified on the whole mural

 

Once you have the three digits find the cache inside the library in the Reference section with the call number: 423 NEW 2025
