The Winter Mini Reading Challenge at Kent Libraries

Following the success of the Marvellous Makers Summer Reading Challenge, the Winter Mini Challenge is back and running from 1st December until 20 February and will be continuing the Marvellous Makers theme brought to life once more by the amazing illustrator, Natelle Quek. The Winter Mini Challenge encourages children to keep up their reading habits over the winter break and help spark a love of reading even in the most reluctant of readers.

Taking part in the Winter Mini Challenge is simple. Children read at least three books of their choice between 1 December and 20 February 2025 and add them to their online profile at wintermini.org.uk. Reaching their reading goal will unlock rewards including a new online badge and a Winter Mini Challenge certificate to print off and keep when they have finished.

Kent libraries will be featuring a run of social media posts throughout the challenge to maintain awareness and interest and will have a linked web page to their catalogue as a useful tool where everyone can find information about the Winter Mini Challenge and other related information.

The wonderful thing is that the Winter Mini Challenge is absolutely free, and children can either read their own books or pop into their closest library and choose from a huge selection of books, all free of charge. For more information pop onto your nearest Kent Library or visit the Reading Agency's website on wintermini.org.uk.
