Reading is an essential skill, right? And the creators of It Ends With Us are making sure that fans don’t forget the book that inspired the upcoming Hollywood movie starring Blake Lively. They are promoting reading with a fun scavenger hunt in Austin on Monday, August 5th, at the Little Free Libraries in Hyde Park.
For those who are unfamiliar, a Little Free Library is a small structure that looks like a birdhouse with bookshelves. It serves as a community book exchange where people can take or leave books for others to enjoy.
The rules of the scavenger hunt are straightforward:
• Starting at 9 am, follow the map to locate each participating Little Free Library in the following order:
1: 4109 Speedway
2: 605 E. 42nd
3: 108 W. 33rd
• At each stop, take a selfie with the library, tag @itendswithusmovie, @littlefreelibrary, and @fonspr, and use the hashtag #itendswithusmovie.
• Once you have visited all three Little Free Libraries, go to the Baker Center (3908 Ave. B) between 9:30 am and 10:30 am. Take a final selfie there to enter a chance to win tickets for an advance screening of the movie. Enjoy the flower party with pink lemonade, photo opportunities, affirmation creations, and more. Don’t forget to contribute a book and pick up your own copy of the original 2016 novel It Ends With Us by Colleen Hoover.
It Ends With Us will hit theaters on August 9th, distributed by Sony Pictures Entertainment.
