On a warm September day in 2017, a group of rowdy pirates known as The Pyrate Blades raided the Benjamin L. Hooks Library in Memphis, TN. Mayhem ensued much to the delight of the children and adults. If you enjoyed the video and would like to join their merry band, reach out to them on Facebook at Mid-South Pyrate Blades and get your Arrrggghhh On!
Join us for Talk Like a Pirate Day again this year. Saturday, September 23, 2018.

A Tall Ship, A Star, And Plunder edited by Robert Krog
Piracy has been around as long as there have been ships plying the seas with anything that might be valuable enough to take by force. Piracy will still be around when merchant vessels are traveling the galaxy with cargoes of potential plunder. Explore the past, present, and future of our favorite scallywags in these 24 amazing tales of bravado, daring, and dastardly deeds committed by the legendary pirates.
Good luck, and may the wind be in your favor, blowing you toward good pickings, and a safe harbor.
