#ShelfLife - September 2, 2016

This week in the #ShelfLife we slipped over the 400-followers milestone! Thank you, fellow Instagrammers, for sharing your love for books and libraries with us.

This Labor Day weekend holds so much excitement for those of us who are headed into Atlanta for DragonCon and the AJC Decatur Book Festival. If you're headed to the Festival, check out our announcement for An Evening with Dennis Lehane on page 7 of the Festival Guide.

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.

We're reading the latest @atlantamagazine on our new @Zinio app and daydreaming about this weekend's DragonCon. #TheReadIsOn #libraryinmyhand #zinio

Go AROUND AMERICA TO WIN THE VOTE: TWO SUFFRAGISTS, A KITTEN, AND 10,000 MILES with Mara Rockliff and illustrator @hadleyhoo in this 100th anniversary tribute to suffragists Nell Richardson and Alice Burke. These gutsy women embarked on a journey in a little yellow car with a kitten, a sewing machine, and a typewriter to raise awareness about the importance of giving women the right to vote. #shelflife #mararockliff #suffragette
