Bad Books

a storytime play by Sharyn Rothstein

A worried mother comes to the library for what she thinks will be a reasonable, polite discussion about which books are appropriate for her teenage son. But her confrontation with the town librarian sparks a chain reaction of consequences no one expected. Equal parts poignant and funny, Bad Books leaves audiences wondering what it truly means to care for our children.

"You’re about to tell me that books aren’t allowed in a library.

So forgive me if I think that yes, this might be a joke."

"I’m not going to tell you books aren’t allowed in a library.
But there are some books that are simply inappropriate for a
child to read. And if you continue to suggest them to my
child he will no longer be allowed to come here."

Join us for a special staged reading of this raucous and brash debate in the quietest place in America... the library.
