Coming to the Movies – Good Reads #3/11

New book covers

Lately we’ve acquired a few best selling novels which have made it to the big screen or are coming soon. A big thank you to Birch Carroll & Coyle Cinemas Cairns and 101.9 Coast FM for donating the Diaries of a Wimpy Kid.  Search for these titles on the Internet Movie Database (IMBd)   Read the credits of any film using the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences’ Movie Credits Index.

There’s even a new film version of Romeo & Juliet on the way, but you won’t be able to read the graphic novel until our Reader’s Cup team have all read it for the upcoming competition on the tablelands.  Read  reviews of more graphic novels. Visit this blog listing some cool graphic novel resources.  One of the many maps available on the quirky “World Mapper” site is a map ranking the numbers of books borrowed from public libraries. Check out some of their other maps. Are you having trouble with the time it takes to find the information you need?  Google has just started holding live webinars to educate us with some handy internet search strategies.  Many of  the webinars are archived here.  Another good place to listen to some short, sharp and sexy podcasts about internet searching, security and safety can be found at  auDA ‘s (Australian Domain Authority)  Let’s Talk Net site. Talk to the library staff anytime about more books that have been made into movies so that you can read the book before renting the DVD!
