Posted by Rhett Grant on Wednesday, November 12, 2014

Stop by the Ada Public Library between Monday, Nov. 24 to Saturday, Dec. 6 to put in a bid on one of our holiday baskets.

Baskets are donated by local businesses and individuals, and make wonderful gifts for the holiday season, and also help the Library raise funds for our Summer Reading family programs--we've been able to raise over $2,000 the past two years!

If you'd like to donate a basket or gift,  think outside the box!

Businesses/organizations/individuals who choose to donate should drop their basket or items off at the library by closing time, Saturday, November 22nd. The library will have the cellophane and ribbons and will wrap the baskets.

Leaf Pick Up – Week 1 is complete!

The Village Street Crews have been going strong with leaf pick up over the past week. With week 1 done, here are a few reminders:

• Having your vehicles and refuse containers out of the way have been a great help! Please continue to keep your street as clear as possible.

• Any debris other than leaves in your piles can prevent the crews from being able to pick up leaves. Please make sure there are no branches, limbs, or other non-leaf material, including trash, in your leaf pile.
