Central Library will not have the following services available on Saturday, October 12, due to the Heartland Book Fest: tech services, public computers and printing, and microfilm.
Child Reading on Pedestal
The sculpture depicts a seated child presumably reading a small book. However, the way the child is seated, clumsily plopped down, suggests that the child may be exploring the book with the unkempt wonder of their own mind and not yet reading it. The sculpture reminds the viewer of this period of time in every person's life and perhaps further suggests how it extends as one grows older and is able to read the book, although still enjoying the wonders of imagination.
