Colgate University Libraries News and Events

So here I am on a gorgeous Saturday (how many of those are left in Central NY?), sitting at the Reference Desk in Case Library, waiting for someone to ask me a question. There are a few souls sharing my exile from the day (although truth be told, if I wasn't here, I'd be at home putting my newly painted bedroom back together). So, what's a librarian to blog about in such circumstances? National Banned Books Week is coming up (please read); food is a perennial issue in libraries (please don't).
 
Then I realized, it's September 19th, International Talk like a Pirate Day, that annual celebration of all things pirate. The brainchild of John Baur and Mark Summers, who explain the creation of the day with "we are guys", Talk Like a Pirate Day has expanded. It has an official song, a newsletter, advice column, and more. Check out their website and join the fun. After all, nothing feels better than a hearty "AARRR" when you're stuck inside on a beautiful day!
