Bristol Pirates
The Bristol Pirates will be visiting the Children's Library on Tuesday, August 5, at 10:30! They've been big library supporters! From the press release:
"Each
year the Bristol Pirates Minor League Baseball organization schedules
several events to support the Children’s Programs of the Bristol Public
Library. This year some members of the Bristol Pirates team will visit
the BPL on August 5th at 10:30 AM. The
players will talk with fans and sign autographs for the children in the
Food City Children’s Program area of the Children’s Library. Hopefully
they will be accompanied by Dingbat the mascot!
August 18th
The Pirates will have a Bristol Public Library promotions night. Each
fan that brings a book to donate to the BPL will have his or her name
entered in a drawing for a team autographed bat. The donated books will
be delivered to the BPL by players the week after the event.
The
Pirates organization has also provided free tickets for each child
enrolled in the Summer Reading Program who has read 27 books. A second
free ticket can be obtained by reading an additional 27 books. More than
4000 children participated in the activities and special events during
the six weeks of the SRP with a significant number of them reading 27
books or more.
“Minor
League Baseball has been a very important part of our community for
many years. We are really pleased to be able to work with the Bristol
Pirates to support the BPL and to give their young fans an opportunity
to meet some players,” said Doris Stickley, director of marketing for
the Library. “This is another way we fulfill our mission to build
community.”

And one more item:
Yes, she's pregnant! It's a girl (90% sure) and she should be out of "in processing" and in circulation in January. Congratulations, Christy and Ian!
