Even though it was snowing on Monday afternoon, a worker adds lettering to the west side of the Ada Public Library. (See next photo as the lettering is complete.)
The major $880,000 addition/renovation may be completed within the next week.
Somehow, the library remained open and in use since late last summer when the changes began to be made. The library closed for only one week during construction.
The Ada First United Methodist Church, located across the street, generously opened its facility for many library youth activities to be held there while construction was underway.
