62nd Annual Meeting of the FRIENDS of the Heights Library: Highlights
This year’s annual meeting took place on Sunday, October 27, 2024. We showed off the newly renovated and expanded Noble Neighborhood branch, located at 2800 Noble Road, Cleveland Heights, OH 44121.
We said thank you to Kathy Frederick for her six years of service on the FRIENDS Board and welcomed new board member Ulysses Stokes.
Director of the Heights Libraries, Nancy Levin, talked about the strong position Heights Libraries are in with the opening of the Noble Neighborhood branch and the ongoing construction of the Peace Park. She thanked the FRIENDS for their support of the Peace Park.
Featured speaker, Isaac Robb, shared From a River to a Region, the Story of the Western Reserve Land Conservancy. Isaac noted the work the library is doing in rebuilding the urban tree canopy by the planting of 100 trees in and around the park. His fascinating talk emphasized the importance of place and community participation in the development of any new project.
Margaret Poutasse is the 2024 Helen Sunshine Memorial Award Recipient. Margaret has been volunteering with the FRIENDS since 2011. Most recently, she has been working in the basement, where all donated books are sorted. She identifies and prices books for specials that are sold for more than standard prices.
