After visiting a different Dayton Metro Library branch last week and being rather impressed, I…read moredecided to stop by the Southeast (Belmont) branch. It is located adjacent to Belmont High School, and if you have any trouble finding it on Apple maps like I did, just continue east on Wayne Ave past Belmont High School, take a slight right onto Watervliet Ave and the parking lot entrance is on your right. According to the website, this branch opened in August 2019. They have several different study/meeting spots, including three 4-person rooms, two 2-person 'tutor' rooms and two group study rooms to accommodate 6-8 people. In addition they have various tables and reading areas spread throughout. In the back left corner you will find a 'quiet reading room' with several tables and a few chairs. After spending the morning there, I only had a few qualms. The lightening in the quiet reading room is not the brightest, and if it weren't for the natural light coming in through the windows, the room would be rather dim (thinking at night time or on a cloudy day). Also, there was a pretty annoying consistent clicking sound that appeared to be coming from one of the air vent ducts in the quiet reading room. I ended up moving out into a different area because of it. Overall though, this is a very nice, clean library with several spots to read a book or get some work done.

Well organized, attentive, informed staff, great selections, and quick, easy access to just about any materials available near or far. Great programs for seniors, children, and anyone in-between. Added bonus? It's just across the tracks (!!) from the Farmer's Market, so come early on a Saturday mornings during the summer/early fall, take in the best of Springfield's local flavors (including an amazing coffee from Un Mundo Cafe at the Heritage Center!!) then head over to the library and lose yourself in "the stacks!!"

I was glad to find this historic gem on a recent visit to Enon. The Enon Adena Mound is the second…read morelargest in Ohio and is owned by the City of Enon. This mound is approximately 40 feet high, encompasses over one acre and is 574 feet in circumference. It majestically sits in the middle of a neighborhood of middle-class houses.

This is a monument dedicated to Civil War Union soldiers. It was dedicated in 1884 and consists of…read morea large 73-foot high granite column and a 9 and a half foot bronze statue of a solider holding a rifle on top. The original statue was made of Italian marble, but had to be replaced due to deterioration. The sculpture was made in the likeness of Private George Washington Fair, a carpenter and bricklayer born in Dayton who served in the Union Army from 1861 to 1865. It's height is impressive and it is in relatively good shape, especially considering its age and that it was moved twice, once to and new location in 1948 to alleviate traffic and then back to its original location in 1991. There was a copper box containing documents of the time placed "within the granite bosom" of the monument during it 1884 dedication. They were removed in 1948 when the statue was moved. The documents included "copies of all daily and weekly newspapers of the day, the annual reports of the Board of Health and Police Department, a copy of the city directory for 1883 and a large color picture of the unveiling of the monument." I know, exciting stuff. The monument is located in the middle of the street, and has a little plaza with some seating connected to it. If you walk over there then just be careful. You have to cross a busy street. There is metered street parking available within a reasonable walking distance and there is a commercial parking garage located across the street. Definitely worth a look if you are in Dayton. I would probably couple it with a visit to the nearby Riverside Park to maximize your trip and make the most of your visit. FYI: A crowd of 100,000 people witnessed the dedication in 1883. Dayton's population was reported to be 40,000 at that time.

The soldier holding the rifle at the top is Private George Washington Fair and he was originally made of Italian white marble when arrived in Dayton in 1884.
