ACROSS AMERICA — A library in Ohio is reporting another case of patron’s remorse.

“Color me mortified,” the person confessed in a letter accompanying a copy of an E.E. Cummings poetry collection checked out from a Cleveland Heights library so long ago that it was forgotten in a box packed for a move. “I’m so very sorry.”

A crisp $2 bill was attached as well, though fines for overdue books were suspended a couple of years ago.

Heights Libraries spokeswoman Cheryl Banks wonders if the customer was motivated to come clean after learning another patron had returned a Bob Dylan album that was nearly a half-century overdue. By Chris Mosby for Cleveland Heights, Ohio, Patch

Sweet Taste Of Success

There’s nothing quite like the feeling Jake Lukens and Michelle Anderson get when the doorbell rings at the Moose and Me home-based bakery and it’s time for them to present a customer with the cakes or cookies they’ve created. A $63,000 Kickstarter campaign means bakery owner Megan Elder will be able to move the business to a storefront, where she will be able to hire more adults living with disabilities. “Our goal is not only to make delicious things with adults with disabilities, but to create an environment where our

employees and community members can have positive interactions,” Elder said. By Lisa Marie Farver for Naperville, Illinois, Patch
