Stop in the Ontario Public Library on Wednesday, Dec. 27, for a treat and give library assistant Ruth Oakes your best wishes. She is leaving to work full time in her and her husband’s assisted-living home. We will miss Ruth, but wish her well in their new endeavor. Lauren West will be our new library assistant and is already training for the position.
