#ShelfLife - January 13, 2017

Congratulations, Forsyth County! We made it through the first snow and ice of the season!

We've seen all the Facebook photos of store shelves completely sold out of milk and bread. We're not sold out of books! 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. #forsythreads #elibrary #librariesofinstagram #snowinthesouth #milksandwich

If you're looking for a few new titles to put on your to-read list for the next time we get snowed in, check out these print and eLibrary recommendations featured in our #ShelfLife feed on Instagram:

Manju is fourteen. He knows he is good at cricket. But there are many things, about himself and about the world, that he doesn't know. It seems everyone around him has a clear idea of who Manju should be, except Manju himself. SELECTION DAY by Booker Prize-winning author Aravind Adiga is filled with unforgettable characters from across Mumbai’s social strata. Be among the first to check them out when SELECTION DAY hits FCPL shelves this week. #ShelfLife #selectionday #AravindAdiga #BookerPrize @scribnerbooks

Feel the Kenyan sun on your face, a breeze off the grasslands in your hair…and the ever-present sense of menace prickling at the back of your neck in LEOPARD AT THE DOOR by Jennifer McVeigh. Be among the first to check this title out when it arrives on our shelf this week and be transported to Africa in the 1950s. #ShelfLife #Africa #Kenya #leopardatthedoor #jennifermcveigh #historicalfiction
