The Ada Public Library was recently the recipient of art work donated by Ohio Northern University student, Abby Brown.
Brown, (Majoring in Advertising Design, Minoring in Marketing) created a literary alphabet--which now hangs in the Ada Public Library's Reading Room--in Professor Melissa Eddings Mancuso's Art 3301 Screenprinting.
“Doll Bones,” winner of a 2014 Newbery Honor Medal, is the next book on the Tween book group, according to Amanda Bennet of the library.
The group, for 4th through 6th graders will discuss the book at 4 p.m., Friday, Oct. 3, at the library.
The book’s author is co-created of the Spiderwick Chronicles.
Future books on the Tween discussion list include “Where the Red Fern Grows,” by Wilson Rawls, in November, and “A Christmas Carol,” by Charles Dickens, in December.
