#ShelfLife - November 4, 2016

It's November (even though it still feels like summer) and we're looking forward to the fun of our Turkey Day Tales programs and to sharing our favorite dishes with our friends and family on Thanksgiving.

Over the coming weeks you'll notice that our Instagram feed will feature a larger selection of cookbooks sprinkled in with the adult fiction and children's stories. You won't want to miss the way we "cooked the books" with Big Bad Breakfast this week!

We hope you'll enjoy browsing our collection of cookbooks this month and that using one will help make your family's holiday season a little tastier. Please share photos of your dishes (include the book, too!) with the hashtags #ShelfLife and #FCPLstories on Instagram, so we can follow along with your culinary adventures.

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

BOB DYLAN THE LYRICS 1961-2012 is a beautiful, comprehensive collection of the lyrics of Bob Dylan, who is expected to accept his Nobel Prize in Literature in Stockholm next month. #bookface #bookfacefriday #bobdylan . #librariesofinstagram #nobel #literature #ShelfLife

Have a kid that loves LEGO? You should check out 365 THINGS TO DO WITH LEGO BRICKS – there’s a fun list of tricks and pranks (that doesn’t include stepping one with your bare feet, moms), plus hundreds of ideas for things to build and games to play. #ShelfLife #LEGO #legos #365thingstodowithlegobricks

If breakfast is the most important meal of the day, then BIG BAD BREAKFAST by John Currence of @bigbadbreakfastoxford is the most important book of the day. Check it out and wake up your morning meal with Sausage Cinnamon Rolls, Baked Cornmeal and Buttermilk Doughnuts, Hillbilly Eggs Hussarde, and Breakfast “Succot-hash,” all washed down with a chilly mug of Falling Down Brown Cow. #ShelfLife #bigbadbreakfast #BFDbreakfastfordinner . . #cookingthebooks #breakfast #cookbooks
