#ShelfLife - September 9, 2016

This week, we're living the #ShelfLife from up high on The Thousandth Floor and then going on the wildest, weirdest hike with fantasy author Drew Magary. Science (real or fiction) seems to be the theme of the week as we go behind the scenes of baby biology with Claiming Noah and figure out sleight-of-hand sorcery in Abracadabra.

And, don't forget about best-selling author Dennis Lehane's upcoming visit. He'll speak and sign books on September 27. Register to attend!

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. Admission to An Evening with Dennis Lehane is free. Register to attend at http://www.forsythpl.org/eventCalendar/programRegistration.aspx?p=8041. #ShelfLife #forsythreads
