#ShelfLife - November 18, 2016

It's almost Thanksgiving! Can you believe it?!?

On Monday, we enjoyed the Groundbreaking Ceremony of the Sharon Forks Library Expansion and Renovation Project. We look forward to providing the community with a more spacious facility for the busiest library in the state of Georgia.

This week we also shared resources to help you prepare for your big Thanksgiving meal. We shared new cookbooks and we even got a shout out from Ashley English, author of A Year of Pies: A Seasonal Tour of Home Baked Pies.

Don't forget that you can also access a variety of food-related eMagazines through our eLibrary. Be sure to share photos of your dishes (including the book, too!) with the hashtags #ShelfLife and #FCPLstories on Instagram, so we can follow along and see what your Thanksgiving looks like.

Visit our online catalog at www.forsythpl.org to place a request for the materials featured in #ShelfLife this week.

Before her older sister died, Carrie was a science nerd, obsessed with the stars. But now Carrie finds herself within the orbit of her sister’s friends, a close-knit group of seniors who skip school, obsess over bands (not science), and party hard. LOST STARS by @lisaselindavis is the perfect story for anyone struggling to find their place in the world. #teenreads #ShelfLife #FridayReads
