The Annie DePrairie Appleby Memorial Library and Community Center opened in 1955 in a beautiful old house that was built in the early 1800s. Different sections of the collection are shelved in former dining and bedrooms. The picture books upstairs even have an adjoining bathroom, complete with clawfoot bathtub and 1950s tiling. The library is located on a large lot with beautiful mature trees and a circular drive where Evenings in the Appleby Gardens summer concert series takes place.

This is the first letterbox I've planted. My grandmother took me to Appleby as a child and I loved it so much, it inspired me to become a librarian myself.

The library locks their gate after hours, but I hid the letterbox outside of the gate. Locate the book return drop box on the southwest corner of library property. With your back to the front of the book drop, take about six steps forward, where a tree and camellia bush share close quarters. The bookworm is biding his time in the base of the camellia bush.

If the gate is open, be sure to get The Mixed Up Chameleon, a beautifully carved stamp.
