Welcome to the Comsewogue Public Library! You can check out more than just books here—so take a look around!—There is a geocache hidden somewhere in these shelves….but you need to solve a few problems before you can get the final location. This cache was placed with library permission.
Go to the given coordinates for parking. The first waypoint tell you the department and section where the final cache is located.
The cache is located at Dewey decimal ABC.DEFG somewhere in the library. Go back and forth throughout the library to find the answers to seven questions that will reveal the missing numbers of the book location.
