A library hardly seems the ideal place to hold a picnic.
Yet, the Wauseon Public Library dispelled that notion, hosting its first Teddy Bear Picnic on Thursday. Organized by Children’s Librarian Rachel Dominique, the event brought together area children, as well as their favorite stuffed animals. The kids, with their parents, of course, made their way to the library’s third floor, where they were treated to lunch and a series of stories focusing on various types of food.
Unfortunately, some freezing rain in nearby areas caused some families to stay home. But those who did attend were treated to a good time and a memorable experience. Perhaps the first of many, as Dominique hopes to host more Teddy Bear Picnics throughout the Summer.
And, as everyone knows, Summer is the perfect time to hold a picnic.
