Posted by Fred Steiner on Thursday, June 8, 2017

By Monty Siekerman
Meet the new Ada Public Library director. He's Rhett Grant, a soft spoken Southerner without the Southern drawl. The 45-year-old comes to Ada from a suburb of Atlanta. 

Rhett grew up in Alabama and Michigan.

His library experience, too, is a combination of the South and Midwest. His most recent library job was head of adult services for a library in Clarkston, Mich.

50,000 hours worth!

Ada benefits from community service by ONU students
Posted by Fred Steiner on Wednesday, June 7, 2017

Community service is an important part of the college experience for many Ohio Northern University students.

Each year, approximately 1,500 ONU students are engaged in about 50,000 hours of community service in Ada.

“Community service can add much to a student’s college experience. For example, students often gain a sense that the world is a bigger place than they imagined and there are a lot of different people in the world,” said the Rev. David MacDonald, ONU’s chaplain.

 Both the volunteers and those being helped benefit from these efforts.
