Solon council leans toward Brosh building

Submitted by admin on Tue, 07/05/2011 - 10:00pm

SOLON– It’s narrowed down to one choice.
If there’s going to be a new city hall anytime soon, it’s either going to be the Brosh Chapel and Community Center or nothing.
At a special meeting last week, Solon City Council members decided against considering the Solon Public Library as a potential city hall site and continued discussions about the possible purchase of the Brosh location.


Lakeview furniture coming from Prison Industries

Submitted by admin on Tue, 07/05/2011 - 10:00pm

SOLON-Lakeview Elementary School is set to receive furniture from a rather popular manufacturer: Iowa Prison Industries.
Board of Education members– except Lianne Westcot, who was not present– unanimously approved the $43,606 construction cost during a board meeting on Monday, June 13. As planned, Iowa Prison Industries will build items that include a Madison chair lounge, an oak library table and bookcases for Lakeview’s media center. The project is funded by the Physical Plant and Equipment Levy, said Board President Dave Asprey.

The Summer Reading Program is still being attended in record numbers and T-shirts are flying off the shelf to kids who have completed their reading challenges. Around 50 preschooler and kindergarteners have been coming to the library on Tuesday mornings for Storytime. Last Tuesday, over 40 middle schoolers came to Teens On Tuesdays @ 2 for “A Visit To Asia” programming. Thanks to Nomi’s in Solon for providing all the chop sticks and fortune cookies for this event.


New audio books

Audio books are another popular check-out item and since so many are continually checked out, perhaps it is hard to know what is available. Here are four new ones to consider and if they are checked out, ask to have them put on hold for you.

“Area 51: An Uncensored History of America’s Top Secret Military Base” by Anne Jacobsen is a non-fiction work about the military base located in the desert 75 miles outside of Las Vegas. Denied that it existed for many years by the U.S. government, this is the first book based on interviews with eyewitnesses to Area 51 history. Jacobsen shows what has really gone on in the Nevada desert, from testing nuclear weapons to building secret supersonic jets.
