The Ada Public Library will be closed for a week and a half starting Wednesday, Jan. 10, because the library is undergoing a major renovation and addition. The library will reopen at 10 a.m. on Monday, Jan. 22.
During the closing work will be done on the ceiling and renovations in the main part of the library, taking advantage of being closed for Martin Luther King Day and a staff inservice day. A new front desk will also be built during the closing.
The Ada Public Library board of trustees will be at 9 a.m. on Thursday, Jan. 8, for a reorganization meeting. The regular January board meeting will follow. The meetings are open to the public.
