#ShelfLife - July 8, 2016

This week's selections include a heart-wrenching story of loss and hope for teens and some lighter titles that would be perfect for reading by the pool or on the beach this weekend.

Visit our online catalog at www.forsythpl.org and be among the first to place a request for these new materials. When you pick up your book, we hope you'll join the conversation by posting a picture of your own #ShelfLife on Instagram.

“Nothing is as you think it is. Lots of things are not what they appear to be. Sometimes people need you to keep searching for them, or at least asking questions on their behalf. And very often, people have been silenced and they need other people to speak for them. It's when you stop searching and asking and speaking that they really will be lost.” ― Sarah Moore Fitzgerald, THE APPLE TART OF HOPE
