Please join the Moline Public Library and the Moline Preservation Society in welcoming Janette Foss Garcia to discuss the history of Swedes in Moline.
Janette Foss Garcia is an Archivist and Librarian. She is the Head of Collections at the Swenson Swedish Immigration Research Center at Augustana College. She has worked as an Archivist in Texas, Iowa, and now Illinois, and has written and co-edited four local historical books, including the photo-historical book, “Edinburg” Texas in the Images of America series. She is looking forward to presenting stories and photos about the history of Swedes in Moline – where they lived, worked, and congregated, and from everyday life to special events.
