​​Letter: APL is not your grandparents’ library

Posted by Staff on Wednesday, October 18, 2023

Letter to the editor from Preema D’Souza of Ada, Ohio.

Whenever I tell folks I work at a library, occasionally I get the response “Ohh but I am not a big reader.”

And I tell them that’s perfectly fine. Not everyone enjoys reading for fun.

Libraries have changed a lot today, with so much of our reading happening digitally. It is really difficult to find the time to sit with a book. Today libraries allow you to access ebooks and digital material from the comfort of your couch.

So, then what is the role of a public library in this day and age you ask. Well as someone who works in a library–let me tell you. The Ada Public Library is definitely NOT your grandparents’ library.

The Ada Public Library is so much more than books. For one – you will NOT find Anyone saying SHHHHH -- be quiet inside the library anymore. It’s a fun, vibrant and happening space. It’s one of the very few spaces in this country where you do not have to spend a dime and yet have a wonderful time. We have something to offer people of all ages.
