**Geocache is NOT at the posted coordinates**
This geocache will require you to visit the Riverside Library and Cultural Center during regular business hours. This has been a long road to secure a partnership with the High Plains Library District. Hopefully soon there will be an event here at the library to showcase geocaching to the Greeley community soon!
Please see this site for hours of operation.
Instructions:
Step 1-
When you are at the first waypoint, gaze northeast upon the girl in the mural on the wall. What is she painting there? That theme gives you a cardinal direction. If You convert it to degrees and subtract it by 225, you'll be lined up close enough for step 2.
Step 2-
Enter the closest building based on step 1. You made it in! Find the banyan tree, there may even be a unicorn to guide you there. I think his name is Fergal?
Spy the lanterns, how many are there?
Step 3-
With that info find another art installation in the library, I see a ruler and due dates, was that book due back in 1962? I hope you feel hull. Or rather whole. See the titles? Use the number of lanterns to guide you to your next step. Ex. 5 lanterns means five down and five to the right.
Step 4-
I bet you know what book you're looking for now. Go find it, you know how, don't you? Don't worry, it won't be checked out nor is it overdue.

The Riverside Branch is located in Evans, the oldest town in Weld County, incorporated in 1869 and briefly serving as the county seat from 1870 to 1874. Named after territorial governor and Union Pacific Railroad president John Evans, the town was once a major hub for travelers along the Transcontinental Railroad to Denver. Reflecting this history, the library was built on the site of a former train depot, with its design intentionally echoing the looks of a train depot.
The site itself carries a rich history. Along with once hosting a train depot, it served as the location of the original Chappelow School building built in 1929, before becoming Evans City Hall. When City Hall relocated, the building was renamed the Jack Meakins Community Center and housed several nonprofits, including Right-to-Read (the forerunner of IRCNoCo) and an agency providing parenting and early literacy classes. The center also hosted outreach library programs and community events until it was eventually demolished to make way for the Riverside Branch.
Since its opening in the fall of 2014, Riverside has become a destination library for neighborhoods surrounding the library and the Evans community. It has hosted major events, including a visit from LeVar Burton and the district’s first Signature Author Event with Diana Gabaldon. The 18,500-square-foot branch is part of a joint-use cultural center operated and maintained by the City of Evans. Designed to meet a wide range of community needs, it offers spaces for collaboration, meetings, and quiet study. The library houses more than 36,000 items—including books, movies, music, magazines, and a Spanish-language collection—and provides 21 public computers, free Wi-Fi, four study rooms, a cozy fireplace, a children’s area, a multipurpose program room, and an outdoor play space and plaza.
