Award-winning musician and author Jim Gill will be at the Iowa City Public Library on Thursday, June 29, as part of his Nationwide Campaign for Play tour! Join us in Meeting Room A from 10:30 to 11 a.m. for a fun-filled concert featuring songs from his newest CD, “Vote for Jim Gill.” Gill says a vote for Jim Gill means taking the time to play musical games with a child.
