History between the pages / Dingler, Nancy [767] [RETROSPECT-2007-767]
Carole Noske and Brian Irwin of the Vacaville Heritage Council recently had their book, "Vacaville: Then and Now," published. The Vacaville Heritage Council has, for years, earnestly collected photos and artifacts from all over Solano County. The new book is a fascinating glimpse into what Vacaville looked like in the 1800s and what is looks like today.

In my last column we took a sneak preview of what it was like for school students back in 1909. I thought you might find it quite interesting how much of an education you had to have just to enter high school. In 1911, the Solano County Schools Board of Education issued a book of "Rules for Promotion and Graduation" and a "List of Supplementary Reading Books."

Solano's library history is a story of steady growth / Goerke-Shrode, Sabine [217] [WAYITWAS-2004-217]
