President’s Club: Andrew Jackson
December 8, 2025

President’s Club: Andrew Jackson

In-Person & on Zoom:
Monday, December 8 from 3:15 – 4:15 PM
Registration is required to attend In-Person.

In December we will be exploring American Lion: Andrew Jackson in the White House, a Pulitizer Prize winning book by John Meacham.

“The definitive biography of a larger-than-life president who defied norms, divided a nation, and changed Washington forever.”

Andrew Jackson, his intimate circle of friends, and his tumultuous times are at the heart of this remarkable book about the man who rose from nothing to create the modern presidency. Beloved and hated, venerated and reviled, Andrew Jackson was an orphan who fought his way to the pinnacle of power, bending the nation to his will in the cause of democracy.

Books are available at OWL to borrow, and e-books and e-audio books are instantly available for OWL card holders.
