Books into Film
Book promotions form an integral part of services on offer to children through Clare County Library. In these promotions, readers are provided with reviews of the relevant titles, ensuring a suitable and enjoyable read according to one’s choice. Each promotion has an average of twenty-five carefully selected titles. Multiple copies of these - in paperback generally - are displayed together in prominent position on tables, similar to supermarket policy for ‘special offers’ or bookshop display for lead titles/bargain books. This informal display is undoubtedly part of the success of the venture. Each promotion is circulated in turn - for a period of three months - to our branch library network, ensuring a continuous supply of fresh promotions. Once a promotion has “done the rounds” of our branch libraries the books are released into the general system.
All the titles in Books into Film have at some stage been adapted for the big screen. We hope that reading the stories will bring an added dimension and depth to these well loved films, old and new.
Copies of each book featured in this special themed collection are available for borrowing from the library. So children, why not give the remote a rest and tune into the real stories behind some of your favourite movies.
