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...



DPL

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

Visiting from Texas! This is my first library cache and it was a treat. We had the librarian in quite a confusion before we realized it wasn’t a book and it wouldn’t be in the system. TFTC!

We got six in this series today, but that's a great start! Oh, my gosh, we had such a good time finding these caches on this really chilly day. They are all fun, and very well done. Thank you to all the cache owners who put their energy and time into creating these and maintaining them for us!
