Get a Library Card

Register for a free library card at the circulation desk. A library card is needed in order to check out material. Anyone three years old or older may be registered for a library card. Children under the age of 18 must have a parent/guardian accompany them to register. Proof of current address is required.

Loan Periods

All materials are checked out for 21 days except for DVDs, Video Games, and magazines, these items circulate for a period of 7 days. Materials from SEO Consortium libraries are checked out according to each library's rules. Be sure to consult your check out slip, your My Account link through this website, or the SEO Libraries app for exact due dates.

All items may be renewed (in person or via telephone or online at adalibrary.org or with the SEO Libraries app) except for materials that are on request by another patron. 

SEO Consortium Loans

For books/items that the Ada Public Library does not have in its collection, the Library participates in the Serving Every Ohioan (SEO) Consortium of libraries that extends across Ohio. The consortium consists of over 100 libraries at 280+ service points and allows our patrons to access over 8.1 million items free of charge. You may place holds for these items yourself, stop by the library and ask our staff to show you how to place holds, or ask and we will gladly place the hold for you. 

InterLibrary Loans

For any items not available at Ada Library nor any SEO consortium libraries, you may request an InterLibrary Loan and our staff member will search libraries outside of our system for that item.
