Biblical scholars say that the Book of Proverbs, in the form we now know, was written during the post-Exilic period, many centuries after the time of Solomon. However, some of the material in the book does seem to date from the monarchical period or earlier, with much of it having close parallels to the Egyptian wisdom material. Unfortunately we can not state that Solomon made any contribution to the Book of Proverbs.
Proverbs was written in the form we know it around the time of the Babylonian Exile, five hundred years after the time Solomon is supposed to have lived. The material about (Lady) Wisdom could be pre-Exilic, as she was probably the Hebrew goddess of wisdom before the Exile. Some of the other material dates from well before the Exile, but appears to be based on Egyptian proverbial sayings. While some of the material in the Book of Proverbs could have originated during the early monarchy, there is nothing that links it to a royal author.

A proverb is a short wise/profound truth or saying that is in general use. The Bible book called 'Proverbs' is a collection of such saying written/compiled by Solomon. (See Proverbs 10:1; 25:1). It appears that he authored most/many of them, but Solomon also tells us that some of the proverbs were from other sources. (See Proverbs 22:17; 30:1; 31:1; Ecclesiastes 12:9,10)
The Books of Ecclesiastes, Proverbs, Solomon's Song and some of the Psalms have traditionally been attributed to King Solomon. However, modern scholars dismiss Solomon as the author of any of these, on linguistic, content and historical grounds.

King Solomon did not really write any book that is part of the Old Testament.
