#ShelfLife - January 6, 2017

Welcome to the first week in the #ShelfLife for 2017!

We've seen all the Facebook photos of store shelves completely sold out of milk and bread and we want you to know that your library isn't sold out of books. Indeed, even when the library must close for inclement weather, you can find something to read without leaving the comfort of your couch. Just visit www.forsythpl.org and use your library card account to check out eBooks, aAudiobooks, eMagazines, and more from our eLibrary.

And, if you'll be stuck inside doing homework instead of playing the snow, be sure to check out our new collection of World Book eBooks. You'll find reliable and credible information on hundreds of topics, such as science, literature, geography, and biology.

Stay calm and read on, friends!

What would it be like to tour the solar system, visiting the sun and the planets, taking in everything from moons to asteroid belts along the way? How would you even begin to pack for that!?! Suit up, strap in, and enjoy the ride with astronomer Mark Thompson in A SPACE TRAVELER’S GUIDE TO THE SOLAR SYSTEM. #ShelfLife #astronomy #spacetravel #librariesofinstagram
