Story time on Saturday morning!

INTRODUCTION TIME, part 2!

We're SO excited to offer a SECOND monthly story time on Saturdays, led by Kristina Wenger. She brings a wealth of experience and creativity with her.

Kristina Wenger is a mom and educator who loves books, storytelling, and crafting and sharing these loves with children. She has worked as a bookstore clerk, a postal clerk in a tiny post office, an actress at Sight and Sound Theatres, a first grade teacher, a writer (blog posts for parents and Sunday school teachers), a professional storyteller, a curriculum creator, and she has voiced and edited audiobooks. But her favorite job of all is being a mom to her two (now grown) children, who taught her more than she taught them.

In 2003, Kristina and her husband Timm started Kids and Cultures, an educational nonprofit organization whose goal was to help kids learn about and appreciate world cultures through storytelling shows, camp programs, and other assemblies. Since 2009, the Wengers have run Taste the World Lancaster (a walking and tasting tour of some of Lancaster’s ethnic eateries). In 2020, they founded Wanderlust Coffees (now owned and run by the Stroopie Company). Kristina works from home part time, and enjoys volunteering and creating things.

Kristina's first story time is Jan. 24 at 10:30 a.m.. Mark your calendars and help us celebrate Australia Day!
