The fiction section was converted into children's books / a children's books section / a children's books
You use 'which' appropriately. You can't replace it with 'that' without changing the meaning. It depends on what you want to emphasize. If you want to emphasize what happened to the fiction section and what it was replaced with, keep the sectence as it is. If they already know that there is a children's section and it is next to the children's area, but you want to tell them what happened to the fiction section, then you could say: The fiction section was converted into THE children's book section THAT IS adjacent to THE new children's area.
