It Was A Pirate’s Life!
Yes, Miss Megan and I spent the day as pirates. I have to say, she made a better pirate than I, I think. Though, we were both told by a good authority that we did not look scary.
Regardless, the library was certainly filled with lots of budding buccaneers. We began with pirate stories. Then there were pirate self portraits. Come to the library to see them! Then came the real adventure…. Pirate masks, parrots that could reside on one’s shoulder, telescopes, pirates everywhere! It was a rough crowd. We were lucky we came out unscathed. Thus reinforcing the well know facts: don’t mess with pirates or librarians. For the record, we are not the first lady pirates. According to the history books there was Anne Bonney, Mary Read, Grace O’Malley, and one of my favorites, Ching Shih, a Chinese woman who sailed the China Sea in the early 19th century and is said to have commanded 1800 ships and about 80,000 pirates. If you’d like more information about lady pirates, librarians, or pirate librarians come check out the library!
