Philo Farnsworth Would Be Happy

Philo who??? Philo Farnsworth, according to a children's book by Ellen Sturm Niz, invented the television. Who knew? Anyway, I suspect that he would be glad that the screenwriter's strike is over. But it will still be a while before your favorite TV shows get their new episodes "in the can". So I am thinking that this would be a good time to turn off the reruns and catch up on a few books that you have been wanting to read for a while but just never found the time. (The book Philo Farnsworth and the Television and it is available at our Cabazon Branch Library.)
