Child with Book was created as an aesthetically pleasing piece of artwork to commemorate 100 years of service at the Detroit Lakes Public Library. The Child with Book statue will remind the community of Detroit Lakes, and visitors to the area, of the history and importance of this Carnegie building. From Minnesota's Legacy: (visit link)

The statue looks like bronze but is made of concentrate, so that it can be climbed on.
