Posted by Fred Steiner on Thursday, August 17, 2017

With construction of a new addition underway at the Ada Public Library, the question from patrons is: What will it look like when it's finished?"

A library renovation overview helps answer that question. In the overview the current entrance is at the top. The addition is on the right.

 Studer-Obringer, Inc. of New Washington, is the contractor for the renovation according to Rhett Grant, library director.

Funding for the renovation and addition comes from a dedicated fund.

The addition on the northeast side of the library will add some much needed space. Additional parking will be added, as well as an outdoor reading area.

County records lots of rain in July.

Posted by Monty Siekerman on Thursday, August 17, 2017

During the month of July, Hardin County Extension rainfall reporters recorded an average of 8.23 inches of rain.  Last year, the average rainfall for July was 1.68 inches. The wet spring experienced by the county up until July was continued with an even more wet July, with several rainfall events adding to already wet soils.  

This year’s July was exactly the opposite of last year, when the county received very little rain for the month.

Crop Production Services in Blanchard Township received 11.50 inches of rain for the month, the most of any of the township sites.  The least rain in July, 6.10 inches, was collected in McDonald Township by Jerry Stout.
