My granddarling and I went to see that movie together. It was a lot of fun.

Edit: recorded

Did you make the recordings or were they already done professionally? When you say edit, do you mean you decided which ones the library should buy?

The program is called Dial-a-Story. Most all of the stories were ones that I found on the bookshelves at the library itself. For a 4-minute recording, though, you can only get in about 635 words. Many of the stories were too long. So, I rewrote (edited) the story to the proper word length. Often, it was just taking out unnecessary adjectives and prepositional phrases. The message and spirit of the story were still in tact. I then read (recorded) the story myself. There will be others, though, who follow me, as I no longer live in that city. I left a repertoire of stories so a reader doesn't have to spend hours hunting down a story that'll fit. If you'd like to know more about the program, the library has a website. It's West Branch Public Library (located in Michigan). You can even donate one a story you have written for a reader to record. The story can be emailed to the director for adding to the inventory of readable stories. Stories are changed about once a week. I hope this answers your questions. Blessings!

Re message below: delete "one"

Thanks for the info, vmarie. I just might donate one of my stories. I'll have to see if I have any poems (I write my kids' stories in rhyme) that are under 635 words. You can't really edit those. That's quite a task you undertook.

That'll be perfect, pixipixil. Should a piece be too short, it can always be combined with another poem or a short-short with a similar theme. Filling that 4-minute time allowance is always a challenge. Be sure you submit entries to the director's attention. Put Dial-A-Story in the subject template. Your interest and contribution to the program will be greatly appreciated. Kids love a good bedtime story. Blessings!

Thanks again, vmarie. It may take a little time before I submit but I'll be on it.
