President Lyndon Johnson is known for being the "Civil Rights President," but he was so much more than that. His years as a teacher, Texas representative, Congressman, and President shaped his political career and reputation. His family, determination, and genuine care to make the United States a better, more equitable place is really at the heart of this complex individual. Join the LBJ Library to explore this fascinating President, from childhood through adulthood and to his decision not to run for a second term. Led by Sheila Mehta, Education Specialist for the Lyndon B. Johnson Presidential Library and Museum.

Explore the history of Native Americans in New England. While we will not turn a blind eye to the impact that colonization, dispossession, and racism had on the story of Indigenous peoples in the region, we will also explore Native American resistance, adaptation, and survival under often harsh and unfavorable circumstances. Moreover, we will examine some of the colonial legacies that still shape the views and (mis-) perceptions about Indigenous peoples to this day.
Led by Christoph Strobel, a Professor of History at the University of Massachusetts Lowell. He is the author of War and Colonization in the Early American Northeast, Native Americans of New England (2021 Choice Outstanding Academic Title); The Global Atlantic: 1400–1900, The Testing Grounds of Modern Empire; and, co-author with Alice Nash, of Daily Life of Native Americans from Post-Columbian through Nineteenth-Century America. Christoph has also published three books on immigration and his scholarly essays appear in many academic journals and in various edited collections.

From the early days of European settlement to the present, Boston and Massachusetts have been friendly to the printed word. In fact, the first printing press in British North America arrived at Harvard in 1636. Libraries -- private, public, and academic -- quickly followed. Massachusetts author and historian Alan Earls will present a slideshow and discussion of some of the important milestones, architectural gems, and key figures in this story as well as an overview of just how richly endowed we are with libraries of all kinds today. Highlights include Ben Franklin’s gift to found the first free public library in Franklin; the first library for industrial workers; the first children’s library; and the first tax-payer funded town and city libraries, as well as pioneering cataloging systems, philanthropists, architects, and more.

Author Susan Mara Bregman will give a presentation based on her new book, Along Route 1: Maine, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts, in this ZOOM webinar.
About The Book: Along Route 1 in Maine, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts is an unapologetic combination of historic gravity, exuberant entertainment, unexpected juxtapositions, and wonderfully kitschy roadside attractions. New England road trippers will encounter roller coasters and candlepin bowling, lobster rolls and homemade pie, colonial-era taverns and granite fortifications. An orange dinosaur overlooks the highway in Massachusetts, a neon whale casts its glow in New Hampshire, and a statue in Maine memorializes a celebrity harbor seal. Motor courts once welcomed weary travelers, and drive-in theaters entertained vacationers on starlit summer nights. A geodesic dome is dedicated to the Maine wild blueberry, and a quirky museum documents the history of the state's sardine industry. A club in Massachusetts showcased jazz greats, and a movie theater in Maine was named after a celebrated racehorse. Mile after mile, Route 1 tells a story about history, survival, loss, and change.
About The Author: Writer and photographer Susan Mara Bregman is the author of Arcadia Publishing's New England Neon and New England Candlepin Bowling. A native New Yorker, she moved to Boston after graduating from college and never left. The remarkable photographs in this book came from historical societies, museums, libraries, universities, and private collections.

Two years after V-E Day, Europe lay in ruins, with its economies devastated and its people facing famine. In a commencement address at Harvard University, Secretary George Marshall called for American assistance in restoring the economic infrastructure of Europe. Western Europe responded favorably, and the Truman administration called for legislation. The resulting massive aid package – the biggest of its kind and named for Marshall – provided more than $13 billion in funding for housing, infrastructure and industry. The story of Europe’s post-WWII recovery is often told with numbers. Now, Mark Adams, Education Director at the Harry S. Truman Presidential Library & Museum, shares the human side of the story, drawing on the Truman Library’s rich archival collection. From drawings by schoolchildren to an urn of blood-stained soil to the original audio recording of General Marshall’s Harvard commencement speech, we’ll delve into the vault for a stunning collection of artifacts and a fascinating “Out of the Archives” experience.

This program is supported in part by a grant from the Hanover Cultural Council, a local agency, which is supported by the Massachusetts Cultural Council, a state agency.
Entitled “Raising Our Voices”, the program will include songs and stories about empowerment and the imagination from a variety of cultural traditions. Hear about a brave parrot, how coyote got his howl, and be prepared to
sing, move and clap your hands. The program will include plenty of sing-alongs, as well as a short lesson in how to play the spoons, and an appearance by an Irish dancing wooden dog named Bingo.
After the performance, children who wish to participate in the summer reading program will be given reading logs to record their reading time and earn rewards throughout the summer.
Registration to attend the performance will open June 5.
