A wall at the Ada Public Library has a big Thank You note from Ready, Set, Grow Preschool which meets at the United Methodist Church. The youngsters can barely spell and write their name at that age, but wanted to send the library a big thank you for the alphabet carpet the school received from the library. The donated carpet didn't fit the decor of the new library renovation and expansion, but found a home at the preschool which meets at the church.
