It takes a village!
The Ada Public Library Summer Reading Programs is only as successful as the efforts of all involved; we recognize and appreciate the Ada Schools and Chanda Smith, School Librarian in their willingness to let us come in and talk about Summer Reading with the kids, and the office staff and teachers for sending our materials home. We are truly grateful for the dedication of the individuals and families who signed-up for and participated in Summer Reading, their commitment to reading and infectious excitement for the programs AND the prizes. And I personally appreciate and recognize all the efforts of the library VOLUNTEENS and staff, Darlene, Debbi, Karen, Karin, Preema, and Rhett.
I would also like to thank the following individuals and businesses, without whom we would not be able to provide the level of quality and breadth of programs which we were able to provide again this year. If you patronize these businesses, please express your gratitude for their commitment to our Library!
Thank you!
