Berlin Library Has Winter Reading Challenge For Kids

Berlin-Peck Memorial Library

BERLIN, CT — Summer reading is usually a common buzzword when it comes to children and books.

But the Berlin-Peck Memorial Library has another type of reading challenge: its new "Whisker Wonderland: Kids’ Winter Reading Challenge."

This wintertime version of the popular summer activity kicked off Dec. 15 and continues through Jan. 10.

Children and families are invited to read and travel through the library's fictional "Whisker Wonderland" to help the mice find their way to the library.

Guests can visit the library, which is located at 234 Kensington Road, to get their reading log and decorate a mouse to get started.

Here’s how it works:

• Each time you read for 20 minutes, color in a spot on the path to move ahead to the next space.

• When you reach one of the shops along the way, visit the library to collect prizes and move your mouse along the path displayed in the Children’s Department.

• Once you reach the library at the end of the path, you will be entered to win a raffle prize.

• Finished before the end of the challenge? Turn around and help your mouse get back home with all their library books.
