Crews began working to remove the statue around 7 a.m., and pulled it out at around 8:20 a.m.
The library will retain the Paterno name and the statue will be stored in a secure location, according to Erickson's statement.
This decision comes after a recent investigation into what information Paterno and other head members of Penn State knew, involving former assistant coach, Jerry Sandusky's child sex abuse scandal.
