1. Heights Libraries projects $424,500 revenue decline in 2026 (cleveland.com) — Cleveland Heights-University Heights Public Library is tightening spending in 2026, cutting free printing, delaying purchases, and shifting investments after projecting a $424,000 revenue drop. Leaders hope these "precision cuts" will postpone a new levy, even as salaries, benefits, and strong cash reserves shape how services and future building investments affect everyday library users in Cleveland Heights.
2.

Lorain at Cleveland Heights football: Preview capsule for Sept. 18 game (morningjournal.com) — Cleveland Heights hosts Lorain at Crawford Stadium on Friday, Sept. 18, giving the Tigers a chance to grab their first win after an 0-4 start.
