📖 About Solon Branch
The Solon Branch is one of the branches of Cuyahoga County Public Library, serving the southeast-suburban city of Solon from a building next to Solon Community Park. Alongside its books, movies, music and downloadable collections, the branch offers community meeting spaces, public computers and dedicated areas for children and teens. Its standout feature is CCPL's Swagelok Innovation Center, a creative and educational maker space focused on in-demand, entry-level skills; patrons who complete a free orientation can use 3D printers, laser engravers and cutters, direct-to-garment and embroidery machines, a waterjet cutter, a vacuum former and vinyl printers. An active Friends volunteer group supports the branch's programs and special events, and a single CCPL card works here and across the county system.
