The Ada Public Library will be closed for a week and a half starting Wednesday, Jan. 10, because the library is undergoing a major renovation and addition. The library will reopen at 10 a.m. on Monday, Jan. 22.
During the closing work will be done on the ceiling and renovations in the main part of the library, taking advantage of being closed for Martin Luther King Day and a staff inservice day. A new front desk will also be built during the closing.
The Ada Public Library board of trustees will be at 9 a.m. on Thursday, Jan. 8, for a reorganization meeting. The regular January board meeting will follow. The meetings are open to the public.
Note: This is the first of a series of columns from the Ada Public Library's tech trainer.

Around this holly jolly holiday season, many of you will probably recieve a new laptop, tablet, or cell phone from Santa (if you've been nice this year).
When setting up your new device, it will likely require the creation of a new account or email address - so be sure to write all the information down.
Keep a notebook or journal of all emails, user names, passwords and pin codes
created on the new device, or you may find yourself locked out and out of luck!

About 20 houses were built in Ada on Friday evening, all within a matter of hours.
That's enough to fill a subdivision. The houses, all one-story, were made by kids...gingerbread houses.
If you are looking to entertain kids with something creative, and gooey, then building gingerbread houses fits the bill.
The project was sponsored by the Ada Public Library, but held at the United Methodist Church across the street because the library itself is undergoing an addition and renovation, but not of gingerbread.
Roger Young is the new fiscal officer for the Ada Public Library. Roger taught accounting at ONU from 1964-1999, so he is well-qualified for the part time library job. In addition, he has served as treasurer for many organizations in town during the past half century.
