Rhett Grant, new Ada Public Library director, shows his wife Jenny some of the historical documents describing the first 100 years of the library.  

He gave a talk on Saturday morning about the library's history, although he just came to town from a suburb of Atlanta just a few weeks ago.

History is one of his areas of interest, so although he is new to the community he has already learned a lot about where he works.

The Ada Icon is posting his history of the library in three parts this week.

Ken Collins took these photos at Lake Nieheiser (Fraternity Circle) on campus. About the first photo, he writes, "Keeping the geese in a row.  All followed the leader into the lake, out again, then back in again.  Fun to watch."

The second two photos remind one of the lazy, hazy days of summer. Peaceful scene of lily pads and a dragonfly. Ken says, "They remind me of a watercolor painting."
