Jim Gill at
“Family Fun Day”
The Greenville Public Library is very happy to host nationally known
children's musician and author Jim Gill at “Family Fun Day” Wednesday
July 15th. Jim has released six award-winning CDs of music &
play for young children that are favorites in family rooms, classrooms,
playrooms - and our storytimes! His musical recordings and picture
books have received honors and awards from, among other organizations,
the American Library Association.
Jim is also a child development specialist. He completed his
graduate studies in child development at the Erikson Institute of
Chicago with special emphasis on the study of play. For this
reason each of Jim's recordings and books is created as an opportunity
for playful interactions between a child and a caring adult.
Jim travels throughout the country speaking to early childhood
educators about the role of play in children's lives, as well as
leading family concerts with his banjo. Anyone who has experienced one
of his concerts knows that rather than performing for children and
parents, Jim leads them to sing and play together.
As always the program starts at 11:00 on the Library lawn. In case of
bad weather we meet at the First Congregational Christian Church
Activity Building on Fifth Street. Again “Family Fun Day” is
sponsored by generous grants from the Friends of the Library and the
Greyson James Steyer Memorial Fund.
