Where: Erlanger Branch Library – 410 Kenton Lands Road
The Kenton County Public Library and the Kenton County Community Early Childhood Council will host the Sixth annual Early Childhood Literacy Fair on Saturday, November 20 from 1-4 p.m. at the Erlanger Branch Library at 410 Kenton Lands Road.
Young children and families will enjoy concerts by Jim Gill and David Kisor, fun activities, face painting and a FREE book for the first 400 children!
Children will love Jim Gill, a Parent Choice award and American Library Association award winner. Anyone who has ever attended one of Jim’s family concerts knows that rather than performing for the children and parents, Jim leads them to sing and play together.
David Kisor performs at the Mary Ann Mongan Library in Covington a few times a year! He is an accomplished singer, songwriter, composer, performer and teacher. He is presently the Music Director for Children, Inc. in Covington, Kentucky, serving Northern Kentucky families with preschool and elementary age children. He also serves as Creative Director for Growing Sound, leading the songwriting, recording and performing of musical products to teach social-emotional development.
“Reading is an excellent gateway to other learning activities,” says Amy Schardein, early childhood specialist. “You might have a great scientific mind but you can’t understand it if you can’t read the text book. Music is a fun way to get children excited about reading.”
Schedule of Events:
1 p.m. Jim Gill concert and book giveaway begins
1-3:30 p.m. Activities and giveaways from community agencies, face painting and balloon animals clowns from Rainbow Entertainment.
3:30 p.m. David Kisor
