Many prizes, some for every age group, await those who participate in the Ada Public Library summer reading program. More than 400 people have joined the program this year. The reading program ends at 1:30 p.m. on Saturday, July 15. One can still join to win.

Who is this green monster?
Why...it's the new library director, Rhett Grant.

When he interviewed for the job, he was told that, for several years, the former director was slimed at the end of the summer reading program. And, yes, he had the option to pass up the sliming. But, Rhett is a good sport and chose to be slimed anyway.
Natalie Walton, library youth services director, did the honors. The exact mixture that made up the slime remains a secret.
