“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.

ADA - The Ada boys soccer team returns several talented players to go with a large group of promising youngsters in forming a dangerous 2020 roster this fall.

With its new and returning talent, the Bulldogs are expected to improve on last season's .500 record. The roster boasts just three seniors and two juniors, so 18 of the 23 players on the team are underclassmen. 

Nine lettermen and several starters return from the squad that finished 8-8-1 overall and 3-2-0 the six-team Northwest Conference, good for third place.

Review by Wilson
If you’ve been paying attention to worldwide theater re-openings, you know there is one movie whose release date seems to be tumbling perilously into the future, Christopher Nolan’s newest film TENET.

Nolan (INCEPTION, THE DARK KNIGHT) is known for his ability to turn seemingly-complex plots into high-caliber entertainment. In anticipation of his newest film, I thought it would be appropriate to revisit my favorite film of his: MEMENTO.
