the place where I frequent is asking a few of us to setup a library of sorts with stories from residents. I'm kinda the unofficial planner of it but I need some help with scripts cause I have no idea what to do in that department.

The two things I'm looking for is "addons" for a bookshelf I've made. Unfortunately I don't have alot of money for the shelf I want so I wanted to see if anybody has the scripts I'm looking for or knows where I can get it... or can make it

First i'm looking for a delivery system for the stories, in notecard format.
I'd like to have the header of a menu system say stories by..... (and able to fill that in or go with the owner of the object it's put into) and be able to select either the stories by name or "give all". I'd prefer an idiot proof setup where I wouldn't have to make changes on the fly. Maybee something that would automatically go with the notecard name as they're formated as "kara - story"

I found one script that works but no "give all", I can live without it because it's not the end of the world... but still posting that here in case someone does have one.

Secondly I'm looking for a way to add text to describe the contents before they click on it. These two may be in a row of books or individual ones and maybee the bindings could be changed on the fly via texture or something like that. I would normally go with floating text but the rest of shelving obsures the floating text and makes it near impossible to read.

I'd appreciate anybody's help. I'm afraid as far as scripting goes.... well we'll say I don't think I could. If you are a scripter please contact me

You can try to purchase the scripts from Brokken Industries , creator is Jamie Brokken. The prices are affordable and rather easy to use.

thank you for the refer, I didn't know but this script was used in a neighbor sim so I got a chance to take a look. All in all not bad at all, but definitely out of my price range at this time.
