#ShelfLife - August 26, 2016

This week in the #ShelfLife, we learn about lucky dragonfish and realize we've been feeling pretty wolf-ish lately. In the last week, we've featured three titles with the word "wolf" - This Is Not A Werewolf Story, Wolf Lake, and The Wolf Road.

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.

Truth is sometimes stranger than fiction. Check out THE DRAGON BEHIND THE GLASS: A TRUE STORY OF POWER, OBSESSION, AND THE WORLD's MOST COVETED FISH by Emily Voigt. A great read for fans of nonfiction tales about collector obsessions set in exotic locales with interesting characters, such as THE ORCHID THIEF by Susan Orlean and SAVAGE HARVEST by Carl Hoffman. #ShelfLife #ForsythReads #nonfiction #librariesofinstagram
