The Ada Public Library board has announced its search for a new director to replace Michael Limer, who recently took a positilon in another library.

According to Sharon Music, director of the library board, the position requires an accredited MLS/MLIS degree and the deadline for applications to be accepted is May 11.

The next book discussion by the Ada Public Library centers on the book "The Tiger's Wife," by Téa Obreht. The discussion is held at 7 p.m., Tuesday, May 1, in the library.

Brief summary
In a Balkan country mending from war, Natalia, a young doctor, is compelled to unravel the mysterious circumstances surrounding her beloved grandfather’s recent death. Searching for clues, she turns to his worn copy of The Jungle Book and the stories he told her of his encounters over the years with “the deathless man.” But most extraordinary of all is the story her grandfather never told her—the legend of the tiger’s wife.

A Private Family Service will be held at a later date. It was his request to be cremated. Memorial Contributions may be made to the Alzheimer’s Association P.O. Box 96011, Washington, DC 20090-6011
