Literacy Computers at the Library

Posted by Rhett Grant on Thursday, March 26, 2015

The Ada Public Library is proud to announce the arrival of two literacy computers in the Children's Department! The computers, geared toward kids ages 2 years - 2nd grade, offer the library's young patrons an opportunity to practice literacy skills with activities and games via ABC Mouse. 

The computers were purchased with the help of a 2014 Hardin County Community Foundation grant. Many thanks go to this amazing foundation--we know the children at the library will surely appreciate the computers! 

Pictured is Landon Mosher, age 4, enjoying the new literacy computer with his mom, Jessi Mosher!
