Geocache Description:


Welcome to the Bear Library and take in the smell of books!
The posted coordinates will take you to parking at the library where you will need to solve a little puzzle.
You will be entering in the library for the cache and here are the hours of operation:
Monday 10:00am - 9:00pm
Tuesday 10:00am - 9:00pm
Wednesday 10:00am - 9:00pm
Thursday 10:00am - 5:00pm
Friday Closed
Saturday 10:00am - 5:00pm

Permission has been granted from the library and thanks to Beth for helping out.

Here is the puzzle: ABC.DE

Sit down on the bench and you will see two lines of writing on the wall.
A = Number of letters in the last word of the first line
B = Number of letters in the first word plus the number of letters in the second word in the first line
C = Number of letters in the third word in the first line plus 1
D = Number of letters of the word in the second line minus 4
E = Number of letters in the first word of the first line minus 1
The check sum of all 5 letters = 25
Once you have ABC.DE, you can locate the cache. There is room for some small swag inside this cache. Please replace how you found it!
Happy Caching!!!!
