"Monument," an art installation and Book Share Station located outside of Central Library, has made the list of Top 100 public sculptures in this year's CODAawards.    The Top 100 entries are featured on CODAworx and available for public voting. Two People’s Choice winners and the ten category winners selected by jurors will be announced with a global media campaign on August 30, 2024. The Voting Deadline is Tuesday, July 2, 11:59 PM.    “Monument” was created by Brian McCutcheon for The Public Collection and was installed on Monument Circle between August 2015 and September 2019. It was moved to Central Library in October 2023. The books in Monument are supplied and stocked by The Indianapolis Public Library and are free and available for everyone to borrow at their leisure. No library card is required.   The reinstallation was made possible by the Herbert Simon Family Foundation, Buckingham Foundation, and Friends of the Library through gifts to The Indianapolis Public Library Foundation.   To vote on Monument, visit: https://lnkd.in/g4TudmJv
