Clues

The Kingston Library is located in the city of Kingston on Franklin Street. It is housed in a historic brick building and has beautiful gardens on a small lot. The children’s room is large and comfortable, a great spot to hang out with your children on a rainy day. Find directions, programming, and hours on the web at www.kingstonlibrary.org or call 331-0507.

1. How many elevators are in this building?
2. Use the elevator or the stairs to go upstairs. Count the number of doors in the second floor hallway. (Don’t count the elevator.) Subtract one from this number.
3. Speaking of stairs, how many sets of stairs connect the first and second floors? Multiply this number by two.
4. Stand at the check out desk on the first floor. Turn your back to this desk and look ahead. A section of the library is straight ahead of you. Your letter is the first letter of this word.
5. Go into the room labeled fiction. How many windows to the outside are there? Subtract one.
6. Count the number of columns on the front porch. Include any incomplete ones. To this number add 13.
7. In the staircase you will find a parade of letters. The pink clown will show the letter you seek.

___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___

The numerical answers to these questions correlate to their order in the alphabet (ex. 1=A, 2=B). This is the author’s last name.

This is a common name. If fact this author shares a name with the actress who played the original magical nanny.

To find the book, use the computer catalog. Using the Advanced Search option type in the author's last name and Colonial History in the first two fields. Make sure your search is limited to Kingston. Look in volume 1.
