Museum to celebrate life of children’s author Jan Wahl
TOLEDO– The Toledo Museum of Art will celebrate the life of children’s author Jan Wahl and his most
recent book “Hedy and Her Amazing Invention” on Saturday from noon-4:30 p.m.
“Hedy and Her Amazing Invention” teaches kids about the pioneering scientific work and inspiring courage
of Hedy Lamarr, the famous Hollywood actress who fought against prejudice and stereotypes to become an
accomplished inventor. Morgana W. Wallace’s epic collages elevate Hedy to myth-like status.
Participants should meet at the Family Center at noon to transform recyclable materials into their own
collages, musical instruments and ornaments. At 2 p.m. there will be a parade to the Little Theater for
a reading of a selection of Wahl’s books, as a celebration of life for the author who passed away on
Jan. 29 at the age of 87. At 3 p.m., the 1944 film thriller “Experiment Perilous,” staring Lamarr will
be shown.
“Jan was inspired by the Toledo Museum of Art throughout his life beginning with his visits as a boy, so
it is fitting that we celebrate both his life and this new book here at the Museum,” said Scott Boberg,
TMA’s manager of programming.
Lamarr, an Austrian-born actress who received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 1960, was also an
inventor whose ideas served as the foundation for current Bluetooth technology. She was inducted into
the National Inventors Hall of Fame in 2014.

Bookaneers Book Club meets
PERRYSBURG — The Bookaneers Book Club will meet March 7 at 4:15 p.m. at Way Public Library.
Children ages 8-12 years old are invited to activities and discussions based off this month’s book. This
month is “Aru Shah and the End of Time” by Roshani Chokshi.
Twelve-year-old Aru Shah has a tendency to stretch the truth in order to fit in at school. One day, three
schoolmates show up at Aru’s doorstep to catch her in a lie. They don’t believe her claim that the
museum’s Lamp of Bharata is cursed, and they dare Aru to prove it.
Eat pizza, read pages
PERRYSBURG — This month, Pizza and Pages Book Club will be discussing “Wolf by Wolf” by Ryan Graudin. The
group meets on March 8 fat 4:15 p.m.
The year is 1956, and the Axis powers of the Third Reich and Imperial Japan rule. To commemorate their
Great Victory, Hitler and Emperor Hirohito host the Axis Tour: an annual motorcycle race across their
conjoined continents. The victor is awarded an audience with the highly reclusive Adolf Hitler at the
Victor’s Ball in Tokyo. Yael, a former death camp prisoner, has witnessed too much suffering, and the
five wolves tattooed on her arm are a constant reminder of the loved ones she lost. The resistance has
given Yael one goal: Win the race and kill Hitler.
Books are available at the checkout.
