I just put a down payment on my final home. I have no idea when I’m moving in. My hope is decades from now, since it’s where I will be spending eternity.

Words are power. That’s why so many people throughout history have burned and banned books. It’s still going on. In April a man walked into the Cuyahoga County Public Library’s Beachwood branch at 25501 Shaker Blvd. and applied for a library card. He checked out 50 books on topics including Jewish history, African American history and LGBTQ issues. He came back a few days later and borrowed 50 more books. He told a librarian his son was in the LGBTQ community.
