A great place to start looking for pirate books is in the Non-fiction in the 910.4's. Here you can examine the history, culture, and fighting styles of pirates, with details about several of the most successful and infamous in history. If famous pirates are what you are after check the 920's. There you will find books about the ruthless and scavenging ways of the likes of Blackbeard and Anne Bonny.
If a salty tale is more what you are searching for there are books to dig up in the fiction section. There is even a series that combines pirates and vampires in the same book!
So X marks the spot and that spot being your library, lots of buried treasure to be found in these books!
September 15th marks the anniversary of the publication of best-selling author/illustrator Peter H. Reynolds’ The Dot, a “story book for all ages.” Starting in 2009, a group of educators began celebrating this date as International Dot Day — a day for classes to explore the story’s powerful themes: bravery, creativity, and self-expression.
How does Reynolds recommend celebrating? “Spread the word... On International Dot Day, read The Dot, wear dots, eat dots, draw dots, frame dots, connect the dots, splurge on art supplies, try a new medium — a new instrument, write a poem, rearrange your furniture, reconnect the dots with an old friend, make something, or make something with a friend. Share your creativity with the world.” (FableVision Learning)
I hope you had a great summer and got a chance to read some exciting books, I know I did.
