It's hard to believe that August is already over and it's time to get back into our regular routines of work and school. If you're not ready to admit that we are quickly barreling toward the season of falling leaves, football games and apple cider, stop by the library on September 19 for something completely different. We'll be celebrating International Talk Like a Pirate Day!  Join us to weigh anchor and hoist the mizzen on this carefree break from the ordinary. We'll being giving our pirate lingo the old heave ho. Whether you're a seadog or a landlubber, we'll be sure to greet you with a yo ho ho!
