About

Her programming with Group Summer Reading Club, Overture Center for the Arts and a Prince and Princess Party sparks huge attendance. Krissy is introducing a new program, Book a Day, which provides training with educational toys and books for parents and caregivers that focuses on Spanish-speaking families, an underserved group in the community.
