This is the second cache that I have hidden and I want to thank DPL for the amazing opportunity to participate in this exciting series. Growing up, I was a bookworm and loved trips to the library. As I got older, I added many books to my collection and hope that others will be as excited as I am for this series. I hope that as you participate in this series, you will take some time and read a book or two or three...

This cache is located at the Virginia Village Library.
This location's hours are as follows:
Monday: 12-8
Tuesday: 10-6
Wednesday: 12-8
Thursday: 10-6
Friday: 10-6
Saturday: 9-5
Sunday: Closed

Your adventure starts at the posted coordinates...
At the posted coordinates, you will find a Masonic Plaque.
A = What are the last 3 digits of the year?
B = How many letters are on the top two lines?
C = How many letters are on the fourth line (don't count the "&" symbol)?
D = What is the date (day)?
E = What is the date (month)? Ex: August = 8
F = How many letters are on the third line?

Now that you have A through F, you can advance to the next stage. In the entryway of the library, you will find an abacus on a beautiful piece of art. In the picture above the abacus is a mythical creature. Go find this creature in the library. Once you have found this beast, write down the person's Last Name that it bears. This will equal G.

Now with A through G in hand, you can complete this journey. Go back to the entryway artwork and get ready to use the abacus... hope you know how to use these things!
Just kidding, I am not that mean...
Using the artwork: On the table, you will see a Green book. What is the third letter on this book? This will equal 1.
What is the fifth letter on the Blue book? This will equal 2.
Finally, there is a Purple book written by "T.H.___". What is the first letter of his last name? This will equal 3.

Now what does all this mean? Here we go!
Line One = (A-B-C-D-E).(F)
Line Two = G
Section = 123
