X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p>This month we're talking Martin Van Buren:
  First president born in the United States but English wasn&rsquo\;t his f
 irst language.&nbsp\; Don't you want to know more?</p>\n<p>In 2026\, journ
 ey through Heather's sketchbooks as she shares some of her favorite tidbit
 s\, doodles\, observations\, and stories about the first 12 presidents.</p
 >\n<p>Heather Rogers isn&rsquo\;t a historian\, an academic\, or an impart
 ial storyteller&hellip\; but she has read more than one book about every U
 .S. president. Out of spite. She was dubbed &ldquo\;America&rsquo\;s Preem
 inent Presidential Doodler&rdquo\; by one of her favorite biographers and 
 she&rsquo\;s been repeating it ever since. When she&rsquo\;s not reading o
 r doodling history books\, she&rsquo\;s a&nbsp\;freelance graphic designer
 \, illustrator\, and content creator.</p>\n<p>To keep her interest during 
 her accidental spite project\, Heather Rogers filled hundreds of sketchboo
 k pages doodling her way through presidential biographies. Doing so height
 ened her curiosity and turned her into an insufferable presidential nerd. 
 Along the way\, she discovered unexpected threads connecting seemingly unc
 onnected people\, times\, and events. She can&rsquo\;t get enough of the w
 eird trivia\, coincidences\, and quirks. Like the fact that English wasn&r
 squo\;t the first language of the first president born in the U.S. Or that
  a three-part plan was proposed to bring George Washington back to life. D
 on&rsquo\;t even get her started on William Henry Harrison &ndash\; he was
  only president for a month\, but she could talk about him for hours.</p>\

  and are her property therein.&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>This program will be recorde
 d. All registrants will receive the recording via email within 48 hours of
  the program.</p>\n<p>This program is supported by the Friends of Memorial
  Hall Library and is in partnership with the Ashland Public Library and ma
