The Davis Library Philips Exeter Academy Exeter New Hampshire 1910's Postcard

Description: Beautiful Early Post Card This postcard is unused. The Academy is an independent boarding school in Exeter New Hanmpshire. In 1912 the Davis Library was added to the campus with space for 5,000 volumes. Although a major improvement, its atmosphere was inhospitable by the standards of later generations. Stacks were locked to students, for example, and the librarian's office was located at the entrance to the stacks to maximize control over entry. Decisions about book selections and the library's program were in the hands of an all-male faculty committee. On November 16, 1971, classes were suspended for a day, and students, faculty, and staff moved books (the library had 60,000 volumes by this time) from the old Davis Library into a new library. The current Library is the largest secondary school library in the world. It is in very good condition with no bends, folds or tears.
