From Philadelphia
Take 95N to exit 67 onto Route 1N. Travel about 3 miles on Route 1 to Washington Road, where there are two closely spaced stoplights. You need to turn left onto Washington Road, but the turning is a jughandle, so you must stay to the right and cross Route 1 at the light (follow signs for Princeton). After about a mile on Washington Road, turn right onto Faculty Road just after the lake. Turn left into parking lot 21 just after
the gym.
Parking:
The best place to park is lot 21, as shown on the map. Be sure to park in the eastern portion in the spaces designated visitor and not in the spots designated athletic parking as you will be ticketed.
Lewis Library is a 5-10 minute walk from lot 21. It is probably fastest to walk, but there is also a University shuttle that leaves lot 21 approximately every 15 minutes
(http://www.princeton.edu/transportation/EastLineFall11.pdf). You should get off the shuttle at the Frist/Guyot stop and Lewis Library will be right in front of you on the right side of the road (see map).
