#ShelfLife - August 12, 2016

This week in the #ShelfLife we're sharing a little humor about beauty with this snort-worthy quote from Miss Piggy, as read in Facepaint: The Story of Makeup:

"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and it may be necessary from time to time to give a stupid or misinformed beholder a black eye."

Plus, we caught Pennywise the Dancing Clown (from Stephen King's It) making an appearance in a storm drain. Scroll down to see more #ShelfLife reading recommendations for kids and adults.

Visit our online catalog at www.forsythpl.org and be among the first to place a request for the new materials featured in #ShelfLife this week. When you pick up your book, we hope you'll join the conversation by posting a picture of your own #ShelfLife on Instagram.
