The Ada Community Library provides a beautiful, quiet setting for browsing and checking out books but it is much more than a lending library.
Children can participate in story hours, craft constructions and summer reading programs.
Special events for the general public range from Shakespeare Players presenting Christmas plays to gardening instruction, and from tax preparation help to book discussion groups. The spacious meeting room on the lower level is available to the public and has satellite down-link capability. It can be reserved through the reference department. As a lending library, ACL's collection has grown from 12,000 items when the library opened in 1989 to over 70,000 items at the present time. Collections of special interest include a large cookbook collection, Black literature, numerous horse books and a growing religion collection.
