Keslie Humburg is our May winner for the adult reading prize. The Adult Reading Program prize is sponsored by Friends of the Library. Adult patrons 18 years and older are invited to enter the drawing. One entry is allowed for each book read during the month. Entry blanks are available at the circulation desk. During the summer, the Adult Reading Program is expanded to include a theme and a variety of prizes every month.

SOLON– The design “Blooming Beef,” submitted by mosaic artist Kelsi Fobian for the Solon Library Foundation’s Calf Classic project, was selected by Calf Classic sponsor Tom Cardella. Fobian’s concept has a calf covered in flowers, each small piece of hand-cut glass placed in such a way as to create a whole flower. The glass, purchased from Northern Lights Stained Glass in Iowa City, is cut with a hand glass cutter from sheets of glass and cut into smaller pieces with glass nippers. The design was first drawn on the calf’s body, with each piece of glass then glued into position.

SOLON– The Solon Garden Club will meet Monday, June 13, at 7 p.m. at the Solon Public Library. The agenda includes plant sale report and recap.

SOLON– Solon High School artists will be exhibiting over 30 pieces of artwork at the Shueyville Art Gallery this month.  The exhibit, entitled “SpARTans,” will run from June 15 through June 22.  There will be an opening reception on Wednesday, June 15, from 5-8 p.m.  Refreshments will be served.  Artwork on display will include photography, drawings, paintings and ceramics from students in grades 9 through 12.
