The McClung collection has some very specific rules with regard to use of their materials, and understandably so. You may only bring in one notebook for recording notes, and must leave purses, coats, etc. in lockers outside the library. You must register on entry, and your materials are also searched when you leave. They have quite a large collection and a large reading room, although it can be quite crowded at times (in particular on Sunday afternoons).
