📰 News we're reading
• Libraries feared state cuts would force hardships -- it's happening in Cleveland and across Ohio (cleveland.com) — Shaker Heights Public Library is bracing for about $154,300 less in state funding this budget cycle, part of broader cuts hitting library systems across Ohio. Leaders warn that reduced hours, service cuts, or future levy requests may be needed as state support shrinks and property tax debates continue, even as residents increasingly rely on libraries for technology, programs, and social connection.
