Nitro-Man Here Tuesday July 31 (1:30)

Nitro-Man will appear at the Collinsville Library as a special bonus for all our great readers. He promises to be a hit with parents as well as the children. Nitro Man aka Robert Sheaff is from The University of Tulsa. He can shatter flowers and badminton rackets with ease, make ice cream in a matter of seconds, create fog to cover his exit and much more.... as long as he can use his secret powers.

Stop by the Collinsville Library and sign up for the SRP. If you have already registered...be sure to complete the program.
