The sculpture is located on the right side of the Bethlehem Area Public Library (when facing the library from the plaza). It is on the plaza level. The sculpture is made of bronze and is likely on a steel base. Some rust on the base by a plaque and the feet of the children indicates galvanic corrosion between the metals.
