Do mammals, birds, and reptiles share similar physical features, and how do we tell them apart? The Lutz will visit Bentley with three live animals, one from each group, along with biofacts from the museum’s natural history collection. Younger patrons will show their understanding with a related craft and older patrons will play a team-based game.

The Only Woman in the Room is the last novel in our threepart series which focuses on the impact women of the past have on our lives today. The Only Woman in the Room follows the adult life of Hedy Kiesler, better known as Hedy Lamarr from her time as a stage actress in Vienna to becoming the wife of a munitions developer known as the "Merchant of Death" to a famed Hollywood film star. Perhaps Lamarr’s greatest, and most lasting, contributions came from her intellect and desire to protect endangered people.
