"Witnessing Tere's work and talent in action has been amazing! Her ease in connecting with the diverse community we serve at the Hartford Public Library-Park Street Library at the Lyric has positively impacted the families who often visit, especially the youth. I hope she continues to serve the greater Hartford community, bringing her love, culture and talent everywhere she goes."
