The notion of using movies to introduce people to books is not a new one. But this week's sponsor, the library marketing department of HarperCollins Publishing, took it one step farther. They created a Book and Film Festival Kit with everything you need to get the most out of showing book-tie-in movies in your library or school. There's a "now showing" poster, a list of suggested books/movies with themes, useful information about fees, copyright, and community involvement, and more. It's absolutely free, just tell them where to send it!
