library tour
Book building orientation
A library tour is a guided walk through a library, typically for new patrons, students, or visitors unfamiliar with the facility.
Staff point out key areas—reference desks, stacks, computer terminals, study rooms—and explain services and policies: Freshman orientation includes a library tour.
The term also covers self-guided routes marked by signage or audio guides.
