Ada Public Library tech trainer
As a technology trainer working in public libraries for over three years, one unfortunate trend I've seen increasing is the number of fake viruses and scams. In order to help keep your technology (and your bank account) safe from online scammers, I've compiled a list of things to watch for.
1) It is easier now for people to make fake viruses than it is to make real ones. These fake viruses usually pop up on your screen with a message saying something like "Your computer has been infected. Call Windows (or Microsoft) Tech Support at XXX-XXX-XXXX.”
Programs at the Ada Public Library during the first week of August include:
Wednesday, Aug. 1, 6:30 p.m., knit and crochet club.
Friday, Aug. 3, 3 p.m., coloring club.
Monday, Aug. 6, 7 p.m., BINGO for all ages.

The Ada Public Library ended the summer reading program last week with the most ever participants.
This year, 550 local residents turned in logs about what they read. This is the first year that the library has passed the 500 figure.
To end the program, the library sponsored a pool/pizza party and the traditional “sliming” of the library director and youth services director, Rhett Grant and Natalie Walton.
By Darlene Bowers Join us this summer as the Ada Public Library and the Ada Icon team up to share favorite books from readers of all ages all over the region. Summer is the perfect time to check out the new library renovation (if you haven’t already) and check out some books. Check the Ada Icon frequently to see who is reading what and grab some ideas for your next reading adventure.
