Helpful book worms

Ada Kiwanis members assist in moving library books to their proper place

Poof.

Ada Kiwanis members turned into book worms Tuesday at the Ada Public Library.

Actually, members of the service club pitched in to help move books back to their proper place as construction of the library’s addition and renovation nears completion.

The library has remained open for patron use nearly every day since the major expansion began late last summer.

Books were somewhat out of order as they were moved here and there, depending on the construction work for the day; however library staff could head patrons in the right direction to find what they needed.

It was maroon and silver rather than purple and gold at Ada Schools on Tuesday.

Students and staff were asked to wear the school colors of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in memory of the 17 students and teachers who died there at the hands of a gunman last week.

Gatekeepers, the newly-organized local chapter of the American Mental Health Alliance, asked those who would be at Ada Schools on Tuesday to wear the Parkland, Fla., school colors in memory of those who died and in honor of those who survived.
