My little free library and geocache was installed in late May. The geocache is GC7G9H2. Please add me to the list. Thanks.

I installed my little free library w/ a geocache, Wiggin's Challenge, about 6 weeks ago. Based upon the geocache log and the little free library guestbook comments, I would say the number of people using the LFL for both functions is 50/50. In my neighborhood, we have a Facebook page w/ nearly 200 members, and I have advertised my library several times since the install. Additionally, my wife and I make sure we maintain the LFL, and switch out inventory every other week. Lastly, I had made poker chips for cache to promote my little free library through the geocache community; I usually drop them for my cache when finding others in the area. I think the bottom line is you get out of your little free library and/or geocache what you put into them. Pictured - Wiggin's Challenge container w/ poker chip cache.

This is my little free library w/ my geocache, Wiggin's Challenge. From the picture the door is very obvious. However, I have had many experienced geocachers have difficulty locating the hide, and 3 of 29, signed my library guestbook instead of the official log in the Ender's Game container; I have recently noted "Not the geocache log" in the guestbook. From what I have seen, the flow of traffic to the cache comes from the opposite side of the cache, so people are unable to see it right away. Based upon my description of my cache, many possible books it could be hidden in, and having a LFL guestbook, added a small degree of difficulty. I have appreciated the positive feedback, the increased foot traffic, and meeting many interesting cachers.
