The vacant lot north of the Ada Public Library will see an addition to the library and much-needed parking in the near future.
The library board advertised for an architect for an addition and renovation estimated to cost $800,000 to $1 million.
They received eight responses, interviewed four firms, and on Wednesday decided on the top candidate: Garmann/Miller Associates of Minster.
The company the board favored provides not only archictural services, but also engineering services. They have experience with libraries, schools, business, and industry.
It's AmeriCorps Week and the Ada Public Library is in celebration mode.
"We are grateful for Max Gauthier, Guiding Ohio Online/AmeriCorps volunteers at the Ada Public Library," Amanda Bennett, library administrator, told The Icon.
"Max is available to help you with your tech needs from now until August, available between 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Mondays and Wednesdays, and 2 to 8 p.m. on Tuesdays. For an appointment for one-on-one help, call the library at 419-634-5246," she said.
Just some examples of what Max can do: Microsoft Office questions, assistance with job search and application, setting up a device for e-books, and many more things.
