The Ada Public Library was recently selected as the 2013 recipient of the Baker & Taylor Entertainment Audio Music/Video Product Award, according to Amanda Bennett, Library Director.  

Ada beat out 19 other public libraries all across the United States for the once yearly grant.

The Ada Public Library submitted their proposal in late 2012 outlining the library's desire to use the award toward adding music and DVDs specifically geared towards teen patrons.

According to Bennett, the hope is to connect with the Ada High School in the months to come to start gathering suggestions from local teens as to what they want to see at the library.

The grant consists of $2,500 toward audio music or video products ordered through Baker & Taylor.
