“We know many patrons are anxious to come into the library and browse,” said Rhett Grant, administrator of the Ada Public Library.

And, with an announcement from the governor of Ohio allowing libraries to reopen, Ada’s library did so on a limited basis with limited use for computers on Aug. 14.

The Icon took advantage of the opening and stopped in on Aug. 27 and found the accommodations in excellent and safe condition.

The library issued an addendum to its reopening, and copies are available at the library entrance. The reopening procedures include 14 items and patrons can find that list at the bottom of this story.
