Located on the first floor, just inside the Clarke Historical Library, the reading room offers an inviting space for using materials from the Clarke's extensive collections of CMU History, Michigan history, children's literature, and Native American materials.
Because the Clarke has one-of-a-kind and irreplaceable materials, reading room policies do not allow food and beverages and the items may only be viewed in the reading room.
