International Talk Like a Pirate Day is a real holiday that takes place every year on September 19. Last year, the library celebrated in fine style with a costumed event, including Pirate-ese language lessons from the Mango Languages database (provided by the
Kansas State Library), a library treasure hunt with prizes for the winners, and a screening of the movie "Pirates: Band of Misfits". Click

Be sure to stop by the library Thursday at 6:00PM for this year's pirate party featuring a live demonstration of sword-play and derring-do. Costumes are encouraged.
