Fieldstone FireplaceSpending time curled up reading a magazine at the Main Library is easy in the winter months thanks to the Fieldstone Fireplace. A mason from Durkin and Company spent days placing each stone in the correct place. The fireplace stands behind the Popular Materials Reference Desk. It was a gift from Mr. and Mrs. Donald W. Green.
