YOUNGSTERS enjoyed a taste of life on the ocean wave at Middlewich Library in a pirate themed workshop.

Children took part in a range of creative activities and would-be Captain Hooks thoroughly enjoyed the high sea high jinks.

Highlights included designing treasure maps, making pirate hats and there were plenty of stories, crafts and poems to sweep the children away on adventures in search of treasure across the world.

Fortunately for the library staff there were no mutinies and no-one was forced to walk the plank.
