Ada Public Library hosts a Knit & Crochet club on the first and third Wednesdays of the month at 6 p.m. The group can usually be found in the front room, near the fireplace.

Tuesday in the public library

Every Tuesday, Ada Public Library hosts Teen S.T.E.M. Science at 3 p.m., for sixth through twelfth graders. (S.T.E.M. stands for Science,  Technology, Engineering and Math.) The next S.T.E.M. Science for teens will be Tuesday, July 2 at 3 p.m.

Participants conduct science experiments, often with special guests, Mrs. Bowden and Mr. Lusk.

This is part of the summer reading program. All participants will receive a ticket to win weekly prizes.

Mr. Molecule - he's a scientist and magician

The Ada Public Library has another exciting week planned for its summer reading program.

On Monday at 11 a.m. Mr. Molecule comes to Ada. He’s a scientist and magician  and he will present a program for kids at the First United Methodist.

And, each day this week (July 1-6) that reading program participants check out a “oversized” book, each participant will receive a prize.

The library says that there’s one ticket earned per day. If you aren’t registered for the summer program, there’s still time to sign up.
