Life in Early Television: The Good, The Bad and The Funny
Stan Thomas
Stan Thomas got the idea, several years ago, that the early days in TV here in Saskatoon would make a fine book. So he revisited his memories and he wrote. That’s how the 89-year-old Saskatoon resident’s first draft was put together—thoughts moving from brain to hand to pen to paper. The result is a wide-ranging book about the formative years of television in Saskatoon.
Journalist Michael McCourt calls the book, "A hilarious, fascinating and historically valuable account for the broadcasting industry ... a work of very considerable significance."
The Alice Turner Library replaced the smaller Sutherland Branch in December 1998. It was named after Alice Turner McFarland who was a library employee for 37 years and Saskatoon Public Library's chief librarian from 1981 to 1989. The first library in Canada to be built to the standards of C-2000 construction, Canada's environmental building code, the Alice Turner Library was expanded to double its original size in 2013.
