Once again, I had an idea of the hide location of this cache before I got to gz, and and again was quite wrong.
Nice simple find - it's great to see so many of these boxes appearing across suburbia!

I loved this one... street libraries are always cool but this one was so unpretentious and with a cool name. Fave point

Another weekend caching run around canberra with Aquilus1, the focus was again on clean up. Finish some of the multi's we had started, collect on some newly solved puzzles (I was on a roll the last week!) and some of the newer trads that have popped up here and there.
First order of the day was to attack Red Hill... yet again! What made this even sweeter is one of the puzzle I solved just yesterday was exactly on one of the planned routes. We did a few s,all loops, here and there, moved the car and repeat.
Highlight of the day, apart from the company, was the Kebab from Yarralumla shops.... just the best! The tree climb I did was also an adventure to say the least. I don't DO tree climbs.... but this just looked gettable and I surprised myself by hauling my fat arse up there and getting it. The tree may have a few less branches now, and I certainly used one of my lives, but it was something I was proud of...once I was back on the ground.

Found the green box! We were looking for something much harder to find, but it was right here ! Lol!
Found with my mum on a pleasant Sunday afternoon - I needed to get out of the house after all my uni study during the weekend. Parked near GZ and made a quick find. I've spotted a couple of book exchanges popping up around the suburbs in Canberra. A great idea for the local bookworms. TFTC.
I walked from my nearby accommodation and made a quick find in this community library box. TNLN, thanks.
We decided to grab a few caches after work and this little grouping was ideal. See a lot of these around the suburbs now...such a great idea. A nice quick find for our last one before heading home. Thanks Lilgreenbox for the cache.
Very quick find on our morning walk. Love this idea, great to see in our new neighbourhood. TNLNSL TFTC
One of those quick after work stop-offs, when you just feel like nabbing a cache or two - maybe three - before you lock yourself away for the night. A very short detour in the wrong direction but close to work and I found this neat little spot with enough caches to keep me happy.
This is very cool - I like it a lot. It might just be the thing to get some newbies into caching - that would be neat. Definitely worth a favourite for its purity and raw appeal. TFTC

Wow, two of these great library caches in one night. I like it. It's an ideal hide. I liked the Halloween decorations too. TFTC!
Never found this kind of cache. It’s almost a different experience entirely for someone used to spending ages looking for tiny hidden containers. TFTC!
What a pleasant cache! Always pleased to see these little libraries around, so I decided to drop off a TB.
Ahhh the cache where your username originated! Very cool and it all makes sense now!
Really love this new idea of putting caches in/on the street library's which has really taken off in the past year or two. A brilliant idea for a crafty or interesting cache, which is relatively safe from muggles as it has a known "purpose" so people aren't going to steal the container because they just can
Thanks for bringing me here and for the cache

Came to M16 for an artists talk. Had found all the caches that were here a year or 3 ago, but I felt like a little walk in the last of the daylight, so decided to see if there were any Munzees. Then figured I might just check if there were any new caches in the area - oh - yes, not 1, but 3! It was getting dark by the time I had found the closest one (right near my car - lol), then .I wandered over to the next, but while I was there, I grabbed the 4 Munzees close by, then came for this cache
TFTC - walked right past it! - lol
...in my defence - I was slightly distracted by the possums I could hear in the trees - lol - I took a few photos of one - which decided to "moon" me and then drop... something... Glad I was not silly enough to be standing directly below
Possum photos taken, now - how far to the cache? Oh just back there - lol
But... Where is the green box?! Slight confusion happened... until I noticed something - ah THAT one! Cool
Well, this one was rather fun... Wonder if the possum will pose for a better photo before I head back to the car?
...well - sort of - lol (cute tail anyway)

Oh that green box. I was wandering around near the tree thinking where is it and then suddenly there it was. Tftc. Some good books here.
F(H)ound It! #3349 @ 7:15 AM
I have accepted the Streak Week challenge and this cache will do nicely for my daily as it is not too far out of my way on the way to work. I hunted for a while before I actually opened my eyes and looked. Well it is early in the morning, that’s my excuse anyway.
Thanks for the cache Lilgreenbox, I’ll probably grab the others nearby over the next couple of days.

In the hood for Dinos weekend game making use of my newly gained crutch and car freedom.
Unexpected hide, works quite well. Right in the open! Thank you for the fun container Lilgreenbox.

Dropping a new business contact off in Narabundah provided the perfect excuse to grab this one. Not often I don’t have to worry about being seen.
No problem spotting the cache for this one, it was obvious on approach. I paused to let someone reverse out of the driveway and pull away, but probably didn't need to. Just habit I guess. [:o] With the coast clear, I nipped on to extract the container and sign the log.
With business all sorted, I returned the cache to its rightful spot and headed off.
Cheers Lilgreenbox.

After work I headed out to visit a few caches and to make some more progress on the museum heist souvenirs. I have done a few caches in box libraries recently and they have all been interesting. I had a look through the books, but none that I might want to read.
Thanks.

18,485 Grabbed a few caches today as the 6th last day of my 20/20 Challenge and to get closer to the Mystery at the Museum finale.
The second little library for the day. These are such fun caches to day. This one was a quick and easy find.
Thanks Lilgreenbox!!

On an evening geohound walk, we managed a few caches in the area. Might return for a book swap. Great idea. TFTC
Nice to find the actual 'Lil' Green Box'. My second find this afternoon of this type of hide. Well crafted and everything in good condition. TFTC and worth a FP
Out this morning with Aquilus1 and Tankengine to help me pick up a few D1/T1 caches I needed to fulfil a challenge cache. There aren’t too many in Canberra that I had left, but they were all found this morning.
We parked across the road and strolled to the little green box. It was a quiet street and only one person passed us as we were taking a photo. It is really a straightforward find! As soon as I opened the door I saw the cache.
Thanks heaps for this one. It is exactly what the doctor prescribed - well challenge cache doctor anyway. Tftc Lilgreenbox!!!

Out this morning with dty73 and Tankengine with a few caches in mind of a D1 T1. Not so many about it seems but was able to collect the ones that were available in the ACT this morning before the lunch time event. Worked out quite well as they were some that I had yet to find and all far enough away from home to not mess with my saved caches for a challenge I am working through.
Time did fly though and soon we were off to collect Flintstones and off to the lunch time event. A nice event with lots of exciting discussion on plans for a 2020 event, some lunch and then off to take dty73 and Flintstones back to theire homes. With the cito this afternoon, TE kindly drove me and stopped along the way to take me to do a few caches in the area. A lovely day out with great company and many friends along the way as well!
This was our first cache of the morning and no doubting the location! I really did like this, simple and amusing! Thanks for the cache, love these and this one was just as expected! Thanks for the cacheLilgreenbox.

#9202 - 2:33:00 PM; After an enjoyable lunch with the boys, I headed off to grab a few caches in the vicinity of the luncheon venue which have appeared since my last caching mission through the area. This one was a nice quick park and grab and I was soon on my way again. TFTC Lilgreenbox
Nice one. I'm out after today's cache. Once I put my GPS away, and opened my eyes, it was a nice easy find. I must have looked like a right drongo till I did that. Thanks, LilGreenBox.
Arrived here after school was out so lots of kids wandering around. Waited for them to dissipate and the snow shower to pass before heading over to make the find. One interesting book there but nothing to swap. I'll have to carry some books in future for this purpose!
Thanks,
Thanks,
Fast find before the rugby across the street. I’ll have to return to do a book exchange. TFTH
After some mainly indoor caching at Parliament House drove over to Griffith for a short stroll in the cold for three caches. TFTC.
A night time find for me. Great concept. I’m visiting Canberra from Perth. Thanks for the cache.
Now that the university assignments are finished, I decided to take a lovely Sunday afternoon to get back into the swing of caching - main goal: to finish off the adventure labs that I didn't at the mega! Great to see another one of these 'boxes' in our modern society as its an excellent community initiative. Obviously, a quick and happy find at GZ, no swaping today. TFTC Lilgreenbox, as appropriately named!
Not feeling so smart after searching the tree, definitely would’ve been easier in the light but we do love a good night cache. TFTC.
Bahahahaha the joys of night caching with K8tybee. Arriving at GZ we searched and searched for the cache by the large beautiful tree... mmmm then perused the garden before spotting the very very obvious little green box we have no excuse lol. Thanks so much for another cache in the area!
I nice little cycle ride from Narrabundah to make this find. I left a 'Discover only' *(strange idea - never come upon this before)* trackable here -'Trades from SaintsMadHouse - Discover only!'
I checked out the books, but didn't take one. I also have a LFL in Narrabundah. I left a Bookcrossing book. If anyone doesn't know what that is. It is travelling books, which can be tracked if people log them. That way, their journey and people's reviews can be followed.

A favourite tick for the library...and this cache not being a micro .

AngelG27 and I had planned to grab a few caches along Sutton road to boost our numbers for the calendar day. I arrived at her work just after a new cache was published. Despite the delay we decided to detour past it, an managed a FTF. As we left there, we happened to pass this cache so stopped to grab it too. My GPS had me near the tree, but when there was nothing there, I thought, it has to be easier than this for a 1/1 so started looking around for something obvious, but AngelG27 spotted it first and pointed me in the right direction.

Cache 5091 on 16 May 2019.
Another fantastic autumn day in the Capital, too nice not to grab some afternoon caches. So TikvaNZ and I planned to grab some caches along Sutton road, a good source of “go to” caches for numbers. But we got diverted first to Griffith for an FTF before resuming our planned route. All caches found easily enough and my stats are continuing to improve .
This cache: as we were literally driving right past this cache it seemed rude not to stop and find it. TikvaNZ looked around the base of a tree first, before I directed him to the obvious spot! Definitely a 1/1 cache!
Thanks Lilgreenbox for the cache and the fun!
