All sorts of wacky word silliness hits the Main Library on Thursday, Aug. 14, with the Jim Gill Family Room Tour!

Jim Gill is an award-winning children's entertainer and expert on how music and movement promote learning. Kids will move, jump and sing along with Jim while they learn and play. 

Join us at 6:00 pm for a special Hug-A-Book concert for two to five-year-olds and families in the Rock Island Main Library Community Room. Each child will take home a free book to keep, thanks to the Merrill Harris memorial of the Rock Island Public Library Foundation. 

This Hug-A-Book event supports the early learning needs of children ages two to five years old.
