Originally a “mere handful of books” placed by the Town and Country League in the women’s restroom at the town hall, the Ada Public Library (founded on June 1, 1917) was taken over by the federation of women’s clubs.
They formed a library board and funded the library through donations, voluntary subscriptions, and loans of books from the state library and the Ada school board during the summers.
On Tuesday Ada Rotary members heard an update on the Ada Icon, the community's news website, from Fred Steiner, owner, and Monty Siekerman, editor.
The Ada Icon, now in its fifth year, is a household name in Ada. Since Jan. 1 of this year the Ada Icon has had 74,958 views from 33,481 individual viewers.
There are two Icons: Ada and Bluffton. Each cover the school districts in their viewship.
Note: Last week we asked if anyone was good with roosters. CLICK HERE for that story.
Update on Rooster - Still Available, running circles around our cops (specifically the Chief).
Good News - the owner of the Rooster has been identified. Seems the little guy got away when he discovered news of a Chicken Swap and wanted no part of it.
The owner is attempting to capture him now - Good Luck.
