Library sculpture recovered in Youngstown

COLUMBIANA — “The Readers” may be spending the rest of the winter indoors at the Columbiana Public Library.

The popular bronze sculpture of a boy and girl reading on a bench was recovered Tuesday by Columbiana and Youngstown police.

One man is in custody at the Columbiana County jail, and a second faces charges but has not been found.

The sculpture was stolen late Sunday or early Monday from a landscaped area in front of the main entrance to the library at 332 N. Middle St.

“We’re very happy,” said librarian Carol Cobbs, of the news it had been found.
