The Ada Public Library will be undergoing a software migration that will span the months of May and June. The library wants its patrons to be prepared as it gear up for some changes. The library has prepared a video to assist in explaining the changes underway.
Beginning Thursday, May 31, a library card will be required to check out materials. This is a requirement as the library's software is updated.
After May 31, patrons and library staff will not be able to place holds on library items. This is a temporary situation while the library's software is being updated.
