There will be a teddy bear picnic, a teddy bear parade and plenty of teddy bear fun.Preschool story times at the Hatteras Library are on Tuesdays for 3-5 year olds from 11 until 11:30 a.m.
Also during this week, a special “American Girl Tea Party” will be held at the Hatteras Village Library. School-age girls can come dressed as their favorite American Girl and/or bring their own American Girl doll. There will be food, games and crafts from each of the American Girl book time periods. Those in attendance will receive American Girl products, such as T-shirts, pencils, stickers, and crafts, generously donated by Belinda Willis of Lee Robinson General Store in Hatteras village.
There is a limit of 30 girls at each location, so please call the Hatteras Village Library to reserve a spot. The American Girl Tea Party will be held at the Hatteras Library on Tuesday, May 12, from 4 p.m. until 5:30 p.m.
