November 21 is World Television Day: We Have Books for That
World Television Day has been celebrated since 1996, but this is the first time I’ve heard of it and I love television.
Here are some of the books available in the library about television:
Duck Dynasty
I have never watched this show but it’s incredibly popular. It follows the lives of the Robertson family who made a fortune selling products to duck hunters, including their Duck Commander duck calls.
