OXFORD – The Oxford Memorial Library will host a variety of activities in February designed to promote family participation and to draw members of the community of all ages to learn about the library.

The first event will be the American Girl Tea, which will take place from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday in the library’s community room. The activities will revolve around the various time periods of the American Girl doll series, which has been making 18-inch dolls since 1986, each representing a variety of ethnicities and time periods in United States history.

Library Director Nancy Wilcox explained the event is open to girls, along with their mothers and grandmothers, who would like to show off their collections or single dolls to other enthusiasts from the area.

“This will be a very special time for moms and daughters to share together,” she said.

The American Girl Tea will also serve refreshments and provide games and crafts from each of the eras belonging to the extensive doll collection.
