State Senator Cliff Hites brings Batman to Ada library

Friday morning for some super hero storyies

Batman returns to Ada at 11 a.m. Friday, June 9.

He'll bring his side-kick State Senator Cliff Hite with him for a return visit of Batman Storytime at the Ada Public Library. Hite and Batman (or are they one and same?) visited the library two summers ago for a similiar storytime.

Sen. Hite is a former teacher and coach, so interacting with children just comes naturally.

In the photo he gives a fist bump to Daniel Klear.

Sen. Hite is a Republican from Findlay and has represented this area as senator since 2011.

He serves on the following committees: agriculture, education, energy and natural resources, public utilities and rules and reference.
