Wendy Winkler, a beloved longtime volunteer with the Traveling Storytime program has recently retired after an incredible 24 years with the program. Her final placement at Thumbelina Nursery School spoke glowingly of her storytelling talents and the genuine love she brought to each visit—sharing that her presence truly lit up the room. Joining the program in 2001 as one of its very first volunteers, Wendy has read to thousands of children, inspiring a love of books and nurturing early literacy. We appreciate her commitment and she will be missed!
