By approaching people who are reading books as they go about their day to day lives, 'Shelf Life' uncovers a host of interesting and often obscure books that may not be on most people's radar.
Rachel Bentley, Executive Producer of ‘Shelf Life' and CEO of TVS says, "... libraries remain the most visited cultural institutions in the country, so there’s a huge audience craving a show like Shelf Life."
Now in its second series, the program is now being broadcast and streamed on TVS. Two episodes from Series 1 can also be viewed online.
