Q. What's going on with that weird sculpture in front of the library?

The sculpture on the north lawn in front of the library is called " The Man Who Used to Hunt Cougars for Bounty" by Richard Beyer. It depicts a legend of a hunter and cougar reunited in ghostly fashion. It was carved on-site in 1972 from a block of California granite.
