Ada Public Library

“Libraries Rock” is the 2018 theme, and it did rock Saturday at APL

Posted by Monty Siekerman on Saturday, June 2, 2018

 

It was a zoo, latterly, at the opening of the Ada Public Library summer reading program. There were goats and sheep, giant rabbits, a calf, bagpipers, steel band drummers, used books for sale, a fire truck, ambulance, police cars, and more. Here are Ken Collins photos, capturing some of the fun people, of all ages, had on Saturday. Oh, yes, and lots of people signed up for the summer reading program, too.

What's cooking at the library?

What are these teens cooking up?

The ingredients include liquid starch, school glue, food coloring, water, and, for good measure, some small foam balls.

When done, their concoction is called Slimey-Wimey Goo, which turns out to make a type of foam that can be molded.

It’s one of the Ada Public Library’s after school activities for teens. Oh, and they were served waffles (the real kind) made by Natalie Walton, library youth activities director.

“Chefs” are Elsie Allen, Madison Archer, Alden Boulanger.
