Library Catalogue Hint
You just found out that a movie you are looking forward to seeing when cinemas reopen is based on a book. You can find the list of books made into movies or TV shows that are held by the library by visiting https://grenfellpubliclibrary.org.au/books-made-into-movies-or-tv-shows/. The list is ever-growing. Each title is linked to the catalogue which will let you reserve a title or two for collection or delivery.
