From the library website:

"Open Book Gateway” is a gateway-type structure formed by three open books with pages featuring six, profile-cut quotations in English, as well as the Arabic and Chinese translations. The artwork is approximately 18 feet tall.

The profile-cut quotations are readable on the sidewalk when the sun shines through, which creates a nice effect.

You can read more about the sculpture at the library website.
