Site line markings are being made Monday morning for the Ada Public Library addition and renovation.
Large machinery, seen in the background, has been brought in to begin the serious work.
The lot on the north side of the library once housed a large brick building that was home to the Masonic organizations in town.

Story and photos by Monty Siekerman
Did you ever see a dinosaur at a car show?
Some of the cars at the County Line Church of the Brethren on Saturday dated back to 1929, but not to the age of the Giant Monsters. However, Bryan Counts of Spencerville is really into dinosaurs as is evident on the inside and outside of his 1977 Ford.
His was among 60 vehicles on display at the church's annual car show, where you could also eat one of 300 chicken dinners and have a piece of homemade pie for $8. The kids enjoyed the playground equipment.
The Ada Public Library is celebrating its centennial. ONU graphic art majors Stephanie Sanicky and Beth Tremains designed this logo and created a campaign for the 100th anniversary. The logo will be used on posters, a bookmark, website and social media. The students worked with library board member Jamie Wills. ONU design students study design in class, but also work with real clients to gain first-hand experience, according to Prof. Brit Rowe.
