Interested in joining? The Book Club meets the second Thursday of each month from 10:30 am to 12:00 pm, meeting room 2. We'll talk over the book "The Only Woman in the Room" by Marie Benedict.

The book chosen for this month's discussion is The Only Woman in the Room by Marie Benedict. A powerful novel based on the incredible true story of the glamour icon and scientist Hedy Lamarr whose groundbreaking invention revolutionized modern communicationHer beauty almost certainly saved her from the rising Nazi party and led to marriage with an Austrian arms dealer. Underestimated in everything else, she overheard the Third Reich’s plans while at her husband’s side, understanding more than anyone would guess. She devised a plan to flee in disguise from their castle, and the whirlwind escape landed her in Hollywood. She became Hedy Lamarr, screen star. But she kept a secret more shocking than her heritage or her marriage: she was a scientist. And she knew a few secrets about the enemy. She had an idea that might help the country fight the Nazis…if anyone would listen to her.

Copies of this book will be available at the check out desk, while supplies last.
