Maryland is getting 15 million dollars from the federal education department to expand access to Pre-Kindergarten programs. How many 4-year-olds will benefit from this money? We ask Rolf Grafwallner, who heads early childhood development efforts in the state department of education. Then – Carla Hayden, CEO of the Enoch Pratt Free Library, suggests books worth reading this winter. Plus: Theater critic J. Wynn Rousuck brings us her review of Chesapeake Shakespeare Company's take on the "A Christmas Carol." And – KathiBeauchesneis trying to keep the art of hand-made, wooden basketry alive in Maryland. We talk with her about what a basket can tell us about our past.
