It has been many years since pirates have roamed the grounds at the Grove City Library, but on Dec. 27, nearly a dozen budding ones woke up from their holiday slumber to engage in battles for territory, seek treasurer hidden among the shelves, and share in elaborate tales of life on the sea during an event called ‘A Pirate’s Life for Me!’ Shown here are the infamous Sparky Blackbeard (Xavier Auxier, 4) and the crafty Rapscallion Stinky Breath Puffy Pants (Daisy Stines, 5, of Grove City) during the festivities. The swashbuckling event was established by Rapscallion Stink-A-Lot Dale Buck, a youth services department lead, as a way to give younger children and their families something fun to do during the winter break.
