DESCRIPTION:Join us for a yearlong series in which “America’s
  Preeminent Presidential Doodler”\, Heather Rogers\, shares facts\, 
 factoids\, and fun illustrations about the presidents of these United Stat

X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p>This month\, we learn about James K. Polk:
  Don&rsquo\;t let the haircut fool you &ndash\; this guy was all business.
  He was so likely to go unnoticed that his wife requested that &ldquo\;Hai
 l to the Chief&rdquo\; be played whenever he entered an event. Don't you w
 ant to know more?</p>\n<p>In 2026\, journey through Heather's sketchbooks 
 as she shares some of her favorite tidbits\, doodles\, observations\, and 
 stories about the first 12 presidents.</p>\n<p>Heather Rogers isn&rsquo\;t
  a historian\, an academic\, or an impartial 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 Preeminent Presidential Doodler&rdquo\
 ; by one of her favorite biographers and she&rsquo\;s been repeating it ev
 er since. When she&rsquo\;s not reading or doodling history books\, she&rs
 quo\;s a&nbsp\;freelance graphic designer\, illustrator\, and content crea
 tor.</p>\n<p>To keep her interest during her accidental spite project\, He
 ather Rogers filled hundreds of sketchbook pages doodling her way through 
 presidential biographies. Doing so heightened her curiosity and turned her
  into an insufferable presidential nerd. Along the way\, she discovered un
 expected threads connecting seemingly unconnected people\, times\, and eve
 nts. She can&rsquo\;t get enough of the weird trivia\, coincidences\, and 
 quirks. Like the fact that English wasn&rsquo\;t the first language of the
  first president born in the U.S. Or that a three-part plan was proposed t
 o bring George Washington back to life. Don&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>\n<p>*All illustrations for this s
 eries have been created by Heather Rogers and are her property therein.&nb
 sp\;</p>\n<p>This program will be recorded. All registrants will receive t
 he recording via email within 48 hours of the program.</p>\n<p>This progra
 m is supported by the Friends of Memorial Hall Library and is in partnersh
 ip with the Ashland Public Library and many other MA and NH libraries.</p>
