Partying like a pirate at Mentor Public Library

All good pirates practice their Arrrrghs.

We pitched a pair of pirate parties as part of International Talk Like a Pirate Day.

The kids dressed as pirates, crafted their own ships and went on treasure hunts!

And, while it may be too late to sail with our crew of ne'er-do-wells, you can always enjoy the pictures.

Luke's not wearing a pirate hat. He's wearing a captain's hat.

Payton's ready to set sail.

Thanks to our entire rapscallion crew. We hope you had fun!

You can register your kids for one or both pirate parties on MPL's event calendar.
