by Nancy Pereira

Handbook. 94 pp., 8 1/2" x 11", paperbound. $ 8.95

Today when many libraries are seeking ways to expand their services and new methods of enticing young readers, it makes special sense to develop a program of creative dramatics. Many librarians, however, may not know what kind of activity to plan, where to begin, how to develop a sequential program leading to a rewarding climax.

Nancy Pereira has written Creative Dramatics in the Library in response to these questions, out of her experience in libraries all over Rhode Island. She comes up with original ways to make connections with books, and original uses for materials that are available to nearly every librarian. She has marvelous ideas for utilizing the tremendous physical energy so characteristic of after-school hours. Mrs. Pereira illustrates her ideas and strategies in such a precise, readable way, with such contagious enthusiasm, that you'll be eager to try them out.
