Geocache Description:

One of three library sponsored multi-stage puzzle caches. This geocache requires transportation to travel between library locations.

This is one of three multi-stage, puzzle geocaches sponsored by Deschutes Public Library. You will have to solve three puzzles to find the physical cache, which will take you on a tour of two of Deschutes Public Library's branches.

The listed coordinates will lead you close to the front door of one our libraries. Enter the library and locate a blue wall. Look for a memorial name plate on a shelf near that blue wall. How many letters are in her full name? Add 43 to that number.

Now you have solved for "XX" in the coordinates: 43.86XX

Once you are outside the library again, look for a dedication sign by the front door. What year was the library built? Subtract 1,647 from that number.

Now you have solved for "YYY" in the coordinates: 121.4YYY

Note: When entering in Google Maps use the format 43.86XX,-121.4YYY

Use the new coordinates to take you close to the front door of a similar building. Enter the building and locate a book to find the cache. The book is entitled THE HISTORY OF LOVE. This is your clue: Dewey Decimal System Call #KRAUSS, NICOLE (in the FICTION section)
