The medallion hunt is here again,
A chance for you to prove you're witty.

For you I have one tip in mind,
Search high & low, but stay in the city.

The medallion must be hidden within city limits.

Rainbow's gold is never near,
Each step closer, always one step away.

Am I trying to trick you?
Don't believe it; take a step back and drop from the top.

The capitilized first letters of each line spell R E A D.

Keys are for locks and locks are for secrets,
But this is a key of a different kind.

The hint that I have for you lies with Francis,
It is he with a key that's missing a lock.

Francis Scott Key wrote the Star Spangled Banner, a poem about the American flag. The library proudly flies our flag.

For you I'll make a scarlet beauty.
Savor my sight, but be warned,
My embrace is an unpleasant one.
Where you find me, you are quite near.

The medallion was hidden near rose bushes.

I can take you to distant galxaies,
I can show you true love.
I know the knowledge of a thousands of minds past.
Read my lips, treasue is near.

I am a book.
