BERLIN â Over 300 people participated in the Booking Around Berlin Community Scavenger Hunt, which concluded last week.Â
In collaboration with the townâs Economic Development Department, the Berlin-Peck Memorial Library Childrenâs Department launched the townwide scavenger hunt just before Christmas. The contest aimed to connect more residents with the public library and encouraged them to visit local businesses during the pandemic. Â
Jennifer Needham, the head of Children s and Teen Services at Berlin-Peck Memorial Library, said the event received overwhelmingly positive feedback from the public. She plans to host another scavenger hunt in the summer, this time with a different theme and possibly new businesses.Â
