Cardholders can now download songs using the library's new free digital music service, Freegal Music
Most people think of the library as a place to borrow and return books, DVDs, CDs and other items. But the Cleveland Heights-University Heights Public Library is offering something that cardholders can keep. For free.

Business owners and others combine forces and plan to give the Cedar Lee area a face-lift

That is why plans are in place to revitalize the strip of Lee Road between Cain Park and the main branch of the Cleveland Heights-University Heights Public Library. This mile-long Cedar Lee Streetscape project is being developed by the Cedar Lee Special Improvement District (SID) in cooperation with the City of Cleveland Heights and the Northeast Ohio Areawide Coordinating …
