Photos submitted Foam and Slime Party The Elizabeth Titus Memorial Library held a Foam and Slime Party last week as a reward to kids who read and filled out their book log for 5 consecutive weeks. Twenty-nine children attended the party and several others who had earned the reward were unable to attend. The library is grateful to the families that are taking advantage of the ten week summer reading program, and hope that it is helping to prevent the ‘summer slide’ until the kids go back to school.
