#fridayreads: Blackbeard and Pirates!

What time is it? It's time for a history lesson, starring Blackbeard's putative descendant and library circulation assistant, No Beard. November 22 is the day that Blackbeard died and the high seas have not been the same since then. At Jessup Library we'd like to think that if pirates had access to the worlds of information provided by our library materials perhaps they wouldn't have plundered so much treasure. Is this a logical ship train of thought? You might have to walk the plank to the end to find out. We can help you reach a conclusion but we cannot help you grow a beard, and the really good news is that Jessup Library is landlocked and a pirate-free zone. Feel free to browse our collection without fear, but keep your eyes on the horizon at all times.
