Silly Dance Contest

Before you hit "play" on this video call your children into the room and get ready to dance. Jim Gill's playful music is so much fun that you won't be able to sit still! If you like what you see here, check out one of Jim's CDs and dance some more.

If you would like to see Jim Gill LIVE AND IN PERSON, plan to visit the Main Library Theater on Monday, September 22nd at 6:30 pm for a fabulously fun family concert!

Bubble Blast!

Tomorrow at 2:30pm join us on the plaza for an afternoon of bubble fun. Learn how to make big bubbles, small bubbles, and every size in between. So, put on your play clothes and get ready for a good time!

For families with children of all ages.
