I have always loved to read and am very grateful that we have such a fine library in Ada. I know that funding from the State of Ohio has decreased in recent years, so we who use the library need to support it.
The library offers many services, a place for community meetings, a fun place for children to go to enjoy age-related programs, and much more. The staff works hard to make the library a comfortable, safe, friendly place to be. So I hope the citizens of Ada will consider voting yes for the Library Levy on November 5.

Junior All-American Christiaan Williams (Sidney/Anna) had a record-setting afternoon, but Ohio Northern fell 44-10 at No. 13-ranked John Carroll on Saturday afternoon at Don Shula Stadium.
Williams ran 25 times for 127 yards for the Polar Bears (3-3 overall, 3-2 Ohio Athletic Conference).
Williams' 127-yard effort breaks the school record for 100-yard rushing games, giving Williams his 21st such game in just his 25th career contest. He breaks the previous record of 20, set by All-American and NFL standout Jamal Robertson from 1997-2000.
