Here is a picture of me and my daughter Rachel at Menasha Public Library's Talk Like a Pirate Day Party. The party was held on Tuesday, September 18, and kids were encouraged to come in costume. We had games such as Pin the Eye Patch on the Pirate and Knock Down the Cartons of Grog. Kids could also stop at Scurvy Dog's Tattoo Parlor for a (temporary) tattoo, and they made their own parrot at Captain Sparrow's Parrot Emporium. They also could make a bookmark and check out some cool pirate books at Blackbeard's Book Bungalow, plus a photo op was available in front of the famed pirate ship, The Elisha D, as pictured. It was a fun program!

This photo is on Flickr, and it was a little time-consuming yet fun to explore this site. Flickr offers a great way to post pictures of programs (as long as parents give permission), plus this is a fun way to share photos with family and friends from all over. I like the privacy option, and the public option is great for libraries to spread the word about all the great work we are doing to enhance literacy.
