A wish come true. Two-year-old Rory McAlpine has an entire wall to fill with LEGOs. The wall, to create whatever the mind concocts, is part of the addition/renovation at the Ada Public Library. The new youth area is made for all kinds of activities, and Youth Services Coordinator Natalie Walton has many programs planned in the coming months. The youth area is colorful, filled with books, and has a stairstep seating arrangement in one corner for lessons and events. It will be a happy place for children. (Reminder: the library is now closed due to construction, will reopen Jan. 22.)
