This cache series would not be possible without the enthusiastic and supportive help of the staff at the Denver Public Library! To celebrate the series, DPL has released a passport program! The first 200 geocachers to legitimately log the series, record the secret codes found within their geocaches, and turn in the completed passports will receive a special, limited-edition Denver Public Library Geocoin!

More information can be found on the DPL web site. Happy Caching!

A bit more confusion than we needed to have about the library sections. Nice hide, though.

mugg-L picked up a book and sat down while I worked on the puzzle. After returning the container, mugg-L returned her book and by chance it was right above the container! I pointed it out that she had no idea that the final was right under her nose! tft , L: Army man (Hooah!)
