Along with summer’s sizzling heat comes a slew of blockbuster movies - the Twilight saga continues with "Eclipse," and "Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief" and "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" were also recently released. Before you cool off in dark, air-conditioned theaters, stop by the library and pick up or reserve a copy of the books.
These and many other popular movies were bestselling books before they hit the big screen: "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs" was inspired by a beloved picture book, as was "Where the Wild Things Are." "The Princess and the Frog" was partially based on E.D. Baker’s "The Frog Princess." And "The Fantastic Mr. Fox" came from well-known author Roald Dahl. Check out the latest list of Books on the Big Screen and read before you watch!
