First, September 19 was Talk Like a Pirate Day. Did you see it circulating Facebook? And if you were anywhere near Krispy Kreme, you probably saw several pirates in line for free donuts! If you'd like to learn to talk like a pirate, check out our Mango Languages program, free through the library. Click the link on our website and enter in your library card to learn dozens of languages, including Pirate, through interactive learning tools.
Second, September 19 was Hobbit Day. All week we're celebrating Tolkien Week and the 75th anniversary of the publication of The Hobbit! Yesterday was Hobbit Day because it is both Frodo and Bilbo Baggins's birthday. It is especially exciting this year due to the fact that The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey is premiering in theaters in December. So check out Tolkien's books here at the library, as well as the Lord of the Rings trilogy on dvd. Go on an adventure in Middle Earth!
Third, September 19 was No Text on Board Pledge Day. People were encouraged by AT&T to NOT text and drive, and to commit by signing an online pledge. You can still do that by going to itcanwait.com.
Whew! That's a lot for one day! Hope you are enjoying this beautiful fallish week. See you around the library!
