You loved the book, now you’re interested in watching the movie! Or maybe you’re looking for a next-read with the option of an adaptation? Books and their on-screen treatments have wide appeal for both literature and film lovers. Our ‘Based on the Book’ resource is designed for the reader and watcher experience.
With three categories of interest, there’s something for everyone. Books are split into genres for easy access; movies are curated by era; and to cater to streaming and social media interests, there is a section of book and movie ‘alikes’ for those into pop culture.
Best of all, all items are linked to the Library’s online catalog, so you can easily place your hold today!
