A unique metal sculpture, made by artist Steve Anderson, of Anderson’s Metal Sculpture, was installed last week on the property behind where the new library is being built, at the corner of Main and W. Maple Street.

“This sculpture, donated by the Community Building Development Team, will add the cultural touch that enhances the educational nature of all the projects planned for this ten-acre site,” said Library Director Donna Clark. “It will add culture and beauty within the areas of the rain gardens and near the planned library building.”

The sculpture is a stainless steel, artistic representation of cattails among dragonflies. It will provide a point of special interest for children and adults alike, and will enhance the area that is home to the historic, Cedar Springs natural flowing spring.

Anderson is the same artist that also created the metal hawk sculptures at Cedar Springs High School and the athletic stadium.
