#ShelfLife - August 19, 2016

This week in the #ShelfLife, we wander down The Wolf Road, crack a few eggs (and gain an author's attention), read a graphic novel written by a movie star, and get lost in the drama of Mystic River.

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.

Dennis Lehane, best-selling author, screenwriter, and television producer, will speak and sign books at 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday, September 27 at the Forsyth Conference Center, 3410 Ronald Reagan Blvd., Cumming. #ShelfLife #ForsythReads #mysticriver
