Visiting The Class of 1945 Library

Visiting The Class of 1945 Library

All other visitors (including alumni):

Our building attracts visitors from around the globe and throughout the year. To protect the privacy and security of the children in our care, we host a variety of Visitor Days throughout the year, permitting registered visitors to enjoy self-guided tours. Visits are limited to specific dates (see below) and registration is required.

During Your Visit:

  • Visitors have the status of guests and are required to sign the visitor log at the Service Desk.
  • Visitors may not have any contact with students or solicit them in any way at any time.
  • Taking photographs, video, or digital images that include any members of the Phillips Exeter Academy community is prohibited.
  • Alumni are “visitors” to the library unless they are registered on campus for Reunions or have scheduled an accompanied visit with Institutional Advancement.
Visitor Days

We offer several Visitor Days throughout the year. During these days we offer a Self-Guided Tour for individual and large groups. If your travel cannot be adapted to these dates, your visit will be limited to the exterior of the building.

Advanced registration is required. Register for Visitor Days here.
