Arrgh, Mateys!



Stoxen Library recently had a visit from Captain Jack Sparrow

He is bringing awareness to an interesting topic: Pirates


Whether you’d like to read about Buccaneers of the 1600s or modern day pirates attacking ships off the coast of Africa, we have the books for you!


In John Matthews’ ­Pirates, you will find many unique extras including an example of a recruitment advertisement from 1779 and a Little Book of Pirate Slang so you can work on your pirate speak.


Learn what to do if you come across a Swashbuckler as you go about your day in What If You Met a Pirate written and illustrated by Jan Adkins.

Go back to the seventeenth century in Buccaneers of the Caribbean by Jon Latimer and Daniel Sekulich will provide insight into the high seas piracy currently going on in the world in his book Terror on the Seas.


If these titles interest you please stop into the library and check them out. While Captain Jack did have to continue on his journey, if you have questions, the Library Staff is always here to assist you in whatever treasure hunting you’re doing.
