We don't have the ability to refuse Kirk Cameron use of the space so long as he abides by library rules. So long as he is just doing a public reading from his book and doesn't start to actively proselytize while on the building campus our hands are tied.

Lucky for me I don't work at Cleveland Park and as such won't have to deal with this awful meeting, but I feel for the staff who do.

Please be aware that the library IS NOT ENDORSING NOR OTHERWISE INVOLVED OTHER THAN PROVIDING THE SPACE.

​

Due to the way the library offers its services, we can't turn down any public meetings so long as they abide by the rules and regulations as delineated on our website. Ergo the staff at Cleveland Park would be going against our mission of being open and available to everybody so long as they aren't indulging in hate speech or bringing out torches.

These are typical work hours since it's generally prohibited during night time hours unless they have a special permit or it's emergency work.

As someone else mentioned unless you can get a city inspector out and record the db in not in compliance in noise ordinance & working hours there aren't too many options.

the last couple of nights, the weather reports on one of the local stations was using a view of the trees and the gridlock as background. Sometimes the cars were actually moving, most times, not.

"Judge Iscoe said he was moved by the more than 40 victims impact letters from Salovesh’s friends and family. The letters contained testimonies to how gregarious,intelligent, and impactful the 54-year-old was, the judge said.  

“This is one of the most painful sentencings I have ever experienced,” he said.

Judge Iscoe agreed to the terms of the plea deal and sentenced Little to 8 and a half  years in prison for voluntary manslaughter with five years of supervised release. In addition, he ordered that Little participate in drug testing and drug treatment. 

According  to court documents,  Little was going 76mph down Florida Avenue, NE in a stolen van attempting to evade police. He then struck another car at a red light and propelled into Salovesh who was waiting at the light on his bicycle. There were also traces of PCP found in his blood."

Already got it easier than deserved.
