Happy Thanksgiving (also Pirate Literacy)

Yesterday, some folks from the library walked in the Thanksgiving Day parade in Charlotte. Here's the literacy van, in all its literacy goodness.


Candy and Jessica from Freedom were there!


And so was Devin. I wore a pirate hat and eye patch and carried a book about pirates. I was trying to promote literacy with Pirates.


Candy's book cart celebrated holidays while Jessica's cart highlighted the environment and positive "green" efforts.

My cart was a pirate ship. The small numbers on the side are "910.45" - the call number for a book about pirates. Read more about pirates in your local library!


We handed out coloring sheets and raised awareness of the library and our operating hours. The parade was a lot of fun. If you missed any of it, The Charlotte Observer has a slideshow of pictures on their site.

There's a picture of Pirate Devin on the Charlotte Observer website slideshow. Check it out: http://www.charlotteobserver.com/galleries/gallery/1077435.html?spill=1#?img=62
