We’re thrilled to announce the launch of History Today, a new podcast from the Joliet Public Library! Hosted by Anneta Drilling, our beloved Local History Librarian with an incredible 37 years of experience, this podcast is your gateway to discovering the fascinating stories of Joliet’s past, diving into genealogy tips, and uncovering hidden pieces of local history.
Each episode, released at the beginning of the month, will explore the rich heritage of our city, offering insights into historical events, notable figures, and the resources available at the library to help you trace your own family history. Whether you’re a lifelong Joliet resident, a history enthusiast, or just curious about your roots, History Today will be your go-to source for engaging and informative discussions.
