Ada Kiwanis members turned into book worms Tuesday at the Ada Public Library.
Actually, members of the service club pitched in to help move books back to their proper place as construction of the library’s addition and renovation nears completion.
The library has remained open for patron use nearly every day since the major expansion began late last summer.
Books were somewhat out of order as they were moved here and there, depending on the construction work for the day; however library staff could head patrons in the right direction to find what they needed.

Kyle Zimmerly heads into Ada High School wearing shorts on Tuesday...and why not with the temperature above 60 degrees and headed to a record high on Feb. 20. The thermometer was expected to hit 69. The record high in Ada on that date was 65, according to Intellicast. Wearing shorts, even on the coldest winter days, has been the style among the college set for the past several years.
