Abstract:
After Hatteras schools were consolidated and the village came together to buy the old school building, Mrs. Lillie Peele helped an idea become a reality: a village library. With the help of the Hatteras Village Library Committee, Dare County Library Committee, and the Dare County Board of Commissioners, the library was commissioned in 1957 and served the community until 1976. A new library was then dedicated as the Lillie Oden Peele Library.
