As a westside to eastside convert, I have never regretted making that taboo change and enjoy raising my family in this wonderful community.

Hello, Heights Observer!

To the Editor:

I take note of the recent criticism of the Cleveland Heights University Heights Library Board over the cancellation of a film about the conflict in the Middle East.

I take issue with several statements made by Fran Mentch in the April 10 issue of the Heights Observer.

To the Editor:

The good news of the Reaching Heights Spelling Bee is in: Students from Heights High placed second in the competition [a team of CWRU faculty won after three tiebreaker rounds].

I was pretty angry when this whole thing started with the Library cancelling the program on the Middle East primarily due to the pressure of one individual. Like most public libraries, the CH-UH Public Library is an important and respected part of our community. Many of us have fond memories of taking our children to story hours and other children’s activities, and attending the adult programming ourselves. We love being able to have free use of new books, films, music, and access to computers and the Internet. The CH-UH Library branches help form the fabric of our neighborhoods, and we have a great deal of affection and respect for the library staff, who work to keep the library a valuable part of our community.

To the Editor,

Welcome Heights Observer! May you in the years ahead:
