Hollywood Library

The first stop on our tour is the Hollywood Library. A library is a great place to begin because not only did Beverly love libraries as a little girl, she eventually became a librarian! And while she never checked out books from this library (it opened in 2002) should would have approved.

Go ahead and open the doors, walk in, and see if you can find a librarian who can help you find a map of the "Walking with Ramona" tour. Don't worry if you came after library hours - you can always ask your grown up to download it on the their phone.

Make sure to look at the wall behind the check-out desk. That impressive map definitely won't fit in your pocket! Do you see any places you are interested in visiting?

This is also a great place to fill water bottles, use the restroom, and make sure you are ready for the walk ahead.

When you're all ready, grab your slowpoke grown up and let's find out what happens next!

"Ramona was not a slowpoke grown-up. She was a girl who could not wait. Life was so interesting she had to find out what happened next.”

- Ramona the Pest
