Project Information

The Logan Library has a long history of serving the community of Logan. A new Logan Library is currently under construction at the same location on Main Street it has resided for the past 35 years. Our new facility will be a community centered library where all are welcomed in a public gathering place.  We will have a large community room as well as two smaller conference rooms and five study rooms which will provide access for library programming and community events. The first floor will invite patrons to relax in the lounge area and enjoy the new children’s area.  The second floor will have a maker space area for creativity and exploration, collections of our fiction genres of books and audiovisual materials including Mystery, Science Fiction/Fantasy and Gentle reads. Teens will also have a space on this floor for gathering and entertainment.  Quiet study areas will be found on the third floor where patrons can search local history as well as nonfiction titles in our collection. Lovely outdoor terraces on the second and third floors will enhance the library by providing garden areas of local flora and fauna. The new Logan Library will provide the citizens of Logan a gathering space as well as a place to get the latest information in today’s changing world.

Library Plaza

The sculpture will be installed on an 8’ x8’ concrete pad located near the western entrance to the new library. In addition to the sculpture pad, the plaza will include gathering spaces, raised and ground level planters, and pathways connecting the library to the other municipal buildings to the west of the library. The sculpture pad will serve as the focal point of the plaza.

Sculpture Theme

The desire of Logan City is to commission a sculpture that highlights the library as a place of learning and community and is complementary to the architecture of the new library.

Eligibility

This call is open to all artists, but preference will be given to artists/artist teams including regional artists residing within 500 miles of Logan. Artists/artist team members must be at least 18 years of age, and legally residing and authorized to work in the United States.
