From my notebook:

• Lakewood City Schools: "Enjoy your winter break. Happy Holidays." (Facebook)
• City of Lakewood, Ohio - Municipal Government: "With Christmas Day falling on a Saturday, Lakewood City Hall and the Lakewood Municipal Court will be closed on Friday, December 24th." (Facebook)
• Lakewood Public Library: Take a peek at what library staff members have enjoyed reading and watching this year. Today's Best of 2021 selection is This Light Between Us by Andrew Fukuda. "This book provided a very interesting perspective on WWII. I enjoyed both of the characters and how their stories related to one another. There were a lot of emotions throughout reading, in all the best ways. This unique novel is as compelling as it is thought provoking." What made your Best of 2021 list? (Facebook)
