THE FINAL HUNT IS ON! – Berkley has been on the move! After hiding Adventure Packs throughout Meadowbrook and Dunnavant Valley, Berkley set off across town for the FINAL ROUND of our Summer Reading Adventure! Three more copies of Beatrice are waiting to be discovered—but this time, you’ll need to explore some brand-new territory. Can you solve the clues to find Berkley’s hidden adventure packs?
CLUE #1 – SOLVED!
Berkley traveled a long way from the Town of Mt. Laurel for this hiding place—but somehow, a familiar word has followed her!
Look for a Little Free Library on a street where “Laurel” meets a “Brook.” A creek winds behind the neighborhood, and a giant tree nearby holds a big, round swing – just waiting for adventure!
WOO HOO! This Adventure Pack has been FOUND!!
CLUE #2 – SOLVED!
Berkley tucked another copy of Beatrice into a Little Free Library where busy sidewalks lead to big adventures.
Look for a quiet street lined with towering trees, where evening walks, wagging tails, scooters, and strollers are all part of the daily adventure.
A proud American flag watches over this little library, standing beneath the shade of an old tree.
If you keep exploring after your discovery, you may stumble upon playgrounds, soccer fields, winding nature trails, and even a library tucked away in the forest.
WOO HOO! This Adventure Pack has been FOUND!!
CLUE #3 – SOLVED!
Berkley hid another copy of Beatrice at a place where new beginnings happen every single day.
Look for a Little Free Library standing beside the front doors, where two bright red fire hydrants frame the entrance, and a pathway of engraved bricks tells countless stories of love.
Nearby, wagging tails are never far away, and wooded trails echo with the footsteps of volunteers helping shelter pets discover brighter tomorrows.
WOO HOO! This Adventure Pack has been FOUND!!
One additional hint: Berkley covered a lot of ground on this adventure! After leaving Dunnavant Valley, she crossed the Cahaba River into Hoover, explored Vestavia Hills, and finished her journey in Homewood. If you need a little extra help, the Little Free Library website and app are wonderful resources for locating nearby Little Free Libraries.
If your family finds one of today’s books, please let PAWS-BHM know! We’ll mark that location as FOUND so other families will know where to keep searching.
We’d also love to see your adventure! Feel free to snap a photo and tag PAWS-BHM, or send us a picture so we can celebrate with you. You could even share a picture of your pet reading Beatrice—Berkley would LOVE that!
Even after all of Berkley’s hidden books have been discovered, don’t forget that Little Free Libraries are always open for readers. Leave a book, take a book, and help keep the joy of reading traveling from one family to the next.
Happy hunting…and good luck!
