Could a Library Attribute ever be?

[+173Carver]

Hey fellow cachers! I searched for an appropriate forum to add this inquiry to and I couldn't find one so here goes!

 

Could a Library Attribute ever be? In my experience Library caches are creative, popular, and attractive caches. I generally filter for high favorite point, multi or mystery caches near town/city centers.

 

What and when was the latest attribute added? Would it take more than coding and an upload or new version? 

 

Thanks for your time and thoughts, happy caching!

Hello.

I think there's a very slim chance that would ever be considered. 

I think the latest attribute was added August 2020:

I think an "Indoor Cache" attribute would be more appropriate. Yes, libraries are a common location for indoor caches, but visitor centers, museums, and other locations are used too.

I just ‘found’ a large at the info desk of an airport. An inside attribute might actually be useful, though geocaching is an outdoor game and i don’t really see that happening

Thanks for all your info and input guys! "Indoor cache" or "entrance required" makes much more sense for this hypothetical and hopefully future attribute.

Happy caching!

Indoor attribute would be a great idea. I think that's definitely something some people would either seek out or avoid.

 

It would also help clarify some hides that aren't clear about where they're located. Most modern caches, like library caches, must have outdoor components that give info on the indoor stage (ex: Dewey number). However, there seem to be exceptions, especially for government parks and chamber of commerce visitor centers. Not to mention all the grandfathered hides that have no real outdoor component.
