Good interview, Ken! Building the Lakewood brand...

Also, Observer Steve Gross is highlighted in the recent Cool Cleveland e-letter for thoughts on urban redevelopment.

Lakewood commands a disproportionate share of both "cool" and "creative" in this region...

Great press for the 'Wood, the Library, and our own very own Wizard.
Much deserved kudos, Ken.

We are all so fortunate to have Ken as a part of our town! Not only does he bring so much, professionally, to our library, but he has also involved himself with making our city an even better place to live!

The only thing I wondered about, was whether Ken was going to take over the middle of Detroit Avenue, with that gigantic library addition! (lol)

Ken,

You're like a movie star. Will you sign my library card?

So proud to know you.

Ken is definitely an asset to Lakewood and to Ohio. Glad to see such recognition.

I also wanted to note that I had to use the computers in the Library and was amazed at how well and easy the use was. The staff was both courteous and informed. It is easy to see why Lakewood has such a highly rated Library.

Now if I could just get books back on time.
