If you ever want to have a successful party for young children, throw a Pigeon Party That's exactly what the Ada Public Library did Friday afternoon.

In this photo, youngsters listen to Natalie Walton read one of Mo Willems' books. The kids found out why pigeons don't drive busses.

At the party, the children enjoyed crafts, games, a treasure hunt, and snacks. The smiles on the youngsters' faces proved the party's success.

Amanda Bennett, director of the Ada Public Library, meets with Bill Jamerson prior to his presentation about the Civilian Conservation Corps on Wednesday at the library.

Jamerson, dressed in the uniform of a CCC member, said the corps around the Ada area mostly helped farmers.

They dug drainage ditches (for which there are many), built small bridges at crossroads, dug ponds, built dams, erected outhouses, and taught farmers about soil conservation.
