The are already scripted. Here are a few titles: Readers Theatre for Children, Readers Theatre from Fairy Tale, Scary Readers Theatre, and Readers Theatre for Young Adults. Hope it helps.

The Trolls by Polly Horvath could be condensed easily with different characters and would be fun to do. Strudel Stories by Joanne Rocklin would be great, especially if you "heat" purchased strudel in microwave for homemade smells as family histories evolve. Annabel the Actress Starring in Gorilla My Dreams by Ellen Conford would be hilarious and you could add different characters. Marisa Moss's new Amelia's Notebook (and others in American Girl series diaries) would be fun for children to "play" characters described in notebooks. Good Luck! Let me know if you used any of these titles...I also liked Sammy Sitstill: How Sammy Feels About ADD and What He Does About It (because role-playing teaches empathy).

I'm looking at a new one called "Transworld Stance" that looks like it would be popular, but is heavy on ads and product endorsements and light on content. I'm hoping there's something better out there. Anyone know anything about this one, or can recommend something else? Thanks in advance for your help.

A patron is looking for a book she remembers reading around 1975ish. Two girls from a boarding school experience time travel. One of them goes to the past and the other the future. The means of transportation is the bed. The bed is the item that causes them to time travel. (It's not Bed Knobs and Broomsticks). The two girls leave notes for each other in a diary. As it turns out one of the girls (past) has a daughter and she tells her that if she ever runs into the other girl to make sure that she is assigned the certain bed in the dormitory. The cover of the book had 3 items on it that pertained to the story: a glass with marbles in it, a toy soldier, and a third she is unsure of. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I need all the help I can get. We would like to come up with a theme for the library for 2000/2001. It is a year of planning for the future, in hopes of expanding. They want to focus on the idea of the library being for everyone from the very young to the very old. I think they would like the word "family" in the theme. Everyone is suppose to contribute ideas. 2. Was anyone else also on "publib" too? It seems to have dissappeared. Thanks in advance Jan Gilgore Youngstown Free Library 240 Lockport St. Youngstown, NY 14174 jgilg@nioga.org

A patron is looking for a book she remembers reading a loooong time ago and she remembers nothing about it except the last line, "I think I'll stay six forever." Got any clue? 2. A patron is trying to figure out/remember some of the words to a children's song (it may be a poem): "You're my honey bun, sugar plum, pumpy-umpy-umpkin. You're my sweetie pie. You're my cupy-cake, gum drop, _________. The apple of my eye."

Several children adopted from an orphanage by a young Catholic family. Parents in book may have been named John and Anna. Patron associates "rainbow" with the book, not sure it that was in the title, elsewhere in the book or what. Many thanks!
