Bettendorf Public Library Hosts Dinosaur Discussion on Thursday, November 19
November 13, 2026 - Learn about something new coming to our community that is older than our community itself!
On Thursday, November 19, at 6:30 p.m., the Bettendorf Public Library will host a Triceratops Talk with the Putnam Museum and Science Center. Curator Chris Chandler from the museum will present a free program about the recent excavation of a Triceratops skeleton and how it's being prepared for its new home at the Putnam.
The skeleton comes from a dig site in Lusk, Wyoming, and is expected to be installed in late 2027 as a permanent addition to the museum. The fossils will make the Putnam Museum and Science Center the only place in Iowa where visitors can see a full dinosaur skeleton.
This free event is funded by the Friends of the Bettendorf Public Library. No registration is required. To learn more, visit the library's event webpage.
