That was followed by photos of the entrance to the Tauranga Library shortly before the girls made their discovery.
Ms Bracken said she recognised the reference to the Bay of Plenty and knew the library was in Willow St.
A quick web search revealed the apterygidae family is the classification of a kiwi.
She immediately sent a message to her friend Annalie Tennant in Tauranga who drove to the library while Ms Bracken researched the book from Auckland. Ms Tennant found the lyrics to A Sky Full of Stars in The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson and the girls tweeted a photo of their discovery soon after.
Library staffer Harley Couper, who had been following the tweets and twigged just minutes after Ms Tennant arrived at the library, had raced downstairs to find the book.
"I couldn't find it and then I saw it down on the ground. It was on the bottom shelf, and obviously someone had pillaged the letter from the book mere minutes before me," Mr Couper said. "Good on her, well done, but I would have loved to have found it myself."
Ms Tennant, who was just sitting down to breakfast when she got Ms Bracken's message yesterday morning said the day turned out to be "unexpectedly exciting".
"My Twitter has been going insane all day," said Ms Bracken, receiving congratulatory messages from Coldplay fans from all over the world.
The friends had not decided what they would do with the lyrics but agreed they would keep them and frame them, joking they may have to cut them in half to share them.
Coldplay has sold more than 70 million records worldwide.
