Central Library Sculpture will be Repaired

Recent visitors to the Meyera E. Oberndorf Central Library in Virginia Beach have noticed yellow police tape surrounding the mount on which the building's iconic wind driven sculpture once stood.  The sculpture was heavily damaged by Hurricane Irene in August.  Library spokeswoman Christine Brantley tells me the sculpture is being repaired and should be back in its usual spot in a couple of months.

Update:  I've learned the sculpture is called "Pennant."  It was created by New Orleans artist Lin Emery, who just unveiled a new piece called "Wings" at the Sandler Center for the Performing Arts.
