Check the Ada Icon frequently to see who is reading what and grab some ideas for your next reading adventure.

For the 50th time, Sandy Neely has begun teaching Red Cross swimming lessons at the Ada Pool. Over the past have century, Sandy has taught three generations of Ada people about how to swim and about water safety. She has announced her retirement; this year will be her last as the local swimming instructor.
On Monday, 75 people from children ages through adult years began two-week lessons in four levels of instruction. That’s the maximum number that can be taught in Ada. Year-after-year, Sandy’s classes are filled to the max.
