Hi,

I got many great ideas, and as promised here is the compilation.

Many were slightly embarrassed to mention Wikipedia, but they have a 
great list. 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_fiction_works_made_into_feature_films_%280-9%29_%26_%28A-C%29 


Book marks were suggested. While that woudln't quite work in the 
children's area, it would definitely work in Yong Adult and possibly 
general fiction. Maybe some lists of YA books that will be movies soon 
(City of Bones, Divergent) laying around. This link was shared as a YA 
resource: http://www.teenreads.com/features/books-on-screen.

Movie Licensing has a decent list, much of it is adult books but some 
kids are in there as well. http://www.movlic.com/library/books2movies.asp

Many people suggested classic titles such as Black Beauty, Tom Sawyer 
or  Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court. Those don't circulate as 
well as I'd like. Maybe if newer film versions come out there will be 
fresh interest.

And for those who don't have a Readbox, Pinterst has some great ideas. 
The one I built is a four foot tall shelf covered in red paper with a 
"logo" on the front. Here is the Pinterest link:

Got to love the collective brain of Library Land.

Thanks!
