The Clements Library figured prominently in tours of the University of Michigan campus that were offered during summer sessions. The purpose of the summer tours was to aid those in Ann Arbor in becoming better acquainted with the university. The tour of the Clements included taking visitors through the stacks, order room, and cataloging department, with all the various library methods of library work being explained to visitors along the way. Visitors were also able to view some items from the collection related to early American history.
