R66WMGT | Pinetop-Lakeside | Library Traditional Geocache

This cache is a small sized container housed outside of the library. As always, watch out for Muggles. This location can be busy, especially if school is letting out. Just be stealthy and look like you are mooching off the free Wi-Fi, that is common here. If the library is open, stop in to see all the books and videos we have on geocaching, traveling, hiking, camping, and other adventure activities. Notify library staff for DNF.

The Pinetop-Lakeside Public Library was once called the Larson Memorial Public Library in honor of Wallace H. Larson, an early resident of Lakeside, Arizona. Mr. Larson helped establish the first library in Lakeside in the 1930s. During the next 40 years the library burned twice. In the early 1970s the library was moved to its current location and now has over 30,000 books, movies, magazines, and CDs.

There is also a picnic table on the northwest side of the library (not related to the cache). It's a beautiful place for a quick lunch.

This cache is one in a series of caches placed by the Navajo County Library District located in Holbrook, Arizona. These caches are supported with funds granted to Navajo County Library District by the Arizona State Library, Archives and Public Records Agency under the Library Services and Technology Act, which is administered by the Institute of Museum and Library Services.
