| At the beginning of June, we kicked off summer with a list of literary inspired motion pictures hitting the big screen in 2013. As we approach the last quarter of the year, we're revisiting that list and sharing updates to the "Book to Movie" flyers (now available in the Partner Portal) that can be displayed in your library or shared in the community to help promote your digital collection. From unbelievable true stories to classic literature adaptations, here is a list of more digital titles that tie-in with movie releases this year:
