The Ring of Knowledge is a unique and beautiful glass sculpture
located
in the main floor of the Central Library and is a centerpiece in the
library's display and programming area. Commissioned by the Grosvenor
Society in 1993 and designed by Howard Ben Tre', the sculpture consists
of five, glass benches arranged in a circle. Each of the five
components represents an individual element or creative energy found in
nature: fire, water, void, ground and wind.
The display area features visually appealing, entertaining and
educational exhibits that are changed three to four times a year and
highlight Library services, collections, special events, observances
and/or community-related activities. Books on the display's theme are
available for circulation. The Ring of Knowledge also hosts events
throughout the year, such as author visits, panel discussions, book
talks and children's programming. Check out the Central Library's
current events. |
