This article by Ann Rock, Director of Development at the Clements Library, appeared today in the University Record: “Gift to Clements Library renews American history landmark.” On Thursday, the Board of Regents approved a major renovations project for Clements Library. This renovation project will improve the historic building’s infrastructure and expand collections space. Construction will begin in early 2014 and will be completed in about 18 months. During that time, staff and collections will be offsite, with arrangements made to continue providing access for researchers.
