Let’s take a walk through the new addition and complete remodeling of the Ada Public Library to see what’s new prior to Saturday’s grand reopening. Ribbon cutting begins at 10:30 a.m. The celebration continues until 1:30 p.m. All are invited.
A large parking lot was constructed on the north side of the library, in an area once housing a large, brick Masonic building. Years ago the library purchased the Masonic building and lot. The area was rezoned educational nine years ago. Now it’s part and parcel of the library. The parking lot will be much more convenient and safer for patrons compared to the limited parking along Main Street.
The grand reopening of the Ada Public Library addition and remodeling will be held on Saturday, April 28.
The program will begin with remarks by Library Director Rhett Grant at 10:30 a.m. The celebration/open house will continue until 1:30 p.m. with refreshments and
Tater the Clown entertaining the children. Tater (Robert Halsey of Kenton) is a balloon artist.

Can you identify this famous painting created by one of history’s foremost artists?
Hint: the sun in the upper right may help you, although the painting is mostly the sky at night, with the sun just coming up in the morning.
The artist used haystacks and crows in many of his paintings, but not this one. Ok, here is the the dead giveaway hint...the artist cut off one of his ears.
