When you mix water, pizza, and slime, what do you get? A pizza pool party for those who have signed up for the summer reading program at the Ada Public Library. On a sunny and hot Wednesday afternoon, 176 club readers took advantage of the fun day which began with a swim, followed by free pizza, and finally sliming. Library Director Rhett Grant and Natalie Walton, youth services director, got slimed with a gooey mix by those in attendance. The library sponsors many events during the summer reading program. Here are kids enjoying cooling off under the pool umbrella.
