Ada Public Library reopens after inside renovations

By Monty Siekerman
A new, enlarged circulation desk has been installed at the Ada Public Library.

With an addition/renovation and convenient parking, the library can expect more patrons bring books to the front desk for checkout.

The desk is lower, too, making it more convenient for youngsters. Purple, yellow, blue walls make the library a bright, happy place.

The library closed for 10 days while workers installed new ceiling, carpeting, and built the desk. It reopened Monday.
