An 8-foot-long sculpted Gila monster "reading" a book, installed beside a Little Free Library at West 2nd Street and North 10th Avenue in Tucson's Dunbar Spring neighborhood as part of a community-reinvestment public-art programme. Created by artists Hirotsune Tashima and Jason Butler; real Gila monsters grow only to about 1.5 ft, making this roughly 5x scale.
