Love to Read LbNA #9693

This letterbox can be completed by traveling east along Main St. (Rte 104) in Mexico, with 1 small detour down Church St. You will be gathering number clues then adding your answers together for a grand total. Some clues have a date as an answer and you'll be instructed to add the numbers. If the date is 1954, for example, the "answer" to that clue would be 1+9+5+4 or 19. Because you will end up at the public library, you will need to plan your hunt during the hours they are open. We will try to keep this page up to date with their current hours, but you may want to call ahead in case a change of hours got by us.
