The Greenwich Alliance’s Storymobile has received a generous donation in memory of  Kathy Krasniewicz (Mrs. K), one of the beloved childrens’ librarians at Perrot Library who was killed by a drunk driver last January.  A lifetime best friend of Kathy’s who spoke with her almost daily, Leigh Barbour was devastated by the loss, and she looked for a way to remember Kathy that would pay tribute to her love of reading and her commitment to children. With the help of her sister, Alliance supporter and volunteer photographer, Paige Davis, Leigh has found what she believes to be the perfect vehicle – the Storymobile – to honor their friendship.  It is Leigh’s hope that her story will encourage others to make donations to the Storymobile in Kathy’s name so that we can help keep her memory alive in a place filled with the things she loved most, children and books.
