April prize winners
Hunter Bentley was the lucky winner at Final Fridays Café. The prize was frosted cupcakes with chocolate drops. Way to go, Hunter. Final Fridays Café, which is sponsored by the Teen Advisory Board, will not be held in May due to the busy schedule of all the teens. Watch for it to resume again next fall.
Nadine Sojka was the winner for the cash prize in the Adult Reading Program drawing. The monthly prize is provided by Friends of the Library. One entry is allowed for every book read by adults, eighteen years and older. Be sure to enter your name in the drawing at the circulation desk.

New kids’ DVDs
Thanks to the generosity of a patron, there are many new DVDs on the shelf for the preschool/lower elementary set who enjoy Dora, Elmo and Bob the Builder movies. There is also a new Leap Frog math DVD, too.
Donated DVDs are very welcome at the library and help stretch the DVD budget. Gently used DVDs that your family has outgrown make nice additions to the library collection. A receipt is happily provided for your donation.

Audio CD additions
Make the most of your commute by listening to a book on CD. Four titles recently added in hardcover are now available in audio books as well. “Come Home” by Lisa Scottoline, “The Lost Years” by Mary Higgins Clark, “Unnatural Acts” by Stuart Woods and “The Innocent” by David Baldacci are now on the audio shelves. “Fifty Shades of Grey” by E. L. James has been ordered and should arrive soon. If the item is checked out, you can request a hold on the item at the circulation desk or by accessing the catalog on the website at www.solon.lib.ia.us.

New adult fiction titles
To see the titles of all of the new books added to the shelf, check the “What’s New” list. Any that are currently checked out may be reserved at the circulation desk or by going to the catalog on the library website.
Just released on May 7 is the latest James Patterson novel in The Women’s Murder Club series. “11th Hour” by Patterson along with Maxine Paetro weaves a number of plots to keep you turning pages. “11th Hour” is the most shocking, most thrilling, most emotional of the Women’s Murder Club mysteries yet. At last pregnant, Lindsay Boxer is called to a bizarre crime scene in the garden of a world-famous actor. A reporter launches a series of vicious articles about the cases and Lindsay’s personal life is suddenly laid bare with no one to turn to.
Two other recent Patterson releases are also on the new fiction shelf. “Private Games,” written with Mark Sullivan, involves security to the 2012 Olympic Games in London. The opening ceremony is only hours away when a high-ranking member of the games’ organizing committee is killed. This exhilarating, action-packed thriller brings the splendor and emotion of the Olympics to a powerful climax. “Guilty Wives,” written with David Ellis, takes place in Monte Carlo where Abbie Elliot and three of her best friends are free to live someone else’s life for four days. Abbie is awakened on a yacht surrounded by police who are accusing her three friends of the foulest crime imaginable. The vacation of a lifetime becomes a fight of a lifetime.
The trilogy, “Fifty Shades of Grey,” “Fifty Shades Darker” and “Fifty Shades Freed” by E. L. James is an erotic, amusing and deeply moving tale that will obsess you, possess you and stay with you forever. The first book, “Fifty Shades of Grey,” is her first novel.

New non-fiction titles
Perhaps you have seen Zach Wahls making the rounds on the TV talk shows with his new book, “My Two Moms.” In January, Zach Wahls addressed the Iowa House Judiciary Committee in a public forum regarding full marriage equality. His speech was posted on YouTube, where it went viral, and quickly received more than two million views. Growing up with two moms, he knows what it is like to feel different and to fear being made fun of or worse. His book, “My Two Moms,” delivers a reassuring message to same-sex couples and their kids.
“Prague Winter: A Personal Story of Remembrance and War 1937-1948” is by Madeleine Albright. “Prague Winter” serves as a guide to the future through the lessons of the past in this deeply personal memoir and experiences of history.
