The Library History Buff

Round-Up reader Larry T. Nix brought to our attention an interesting and unusual topical website - The Library History Buff. The site is dedicated to the appreciation, enjoyment, and preservation of library history.

According to Nix, the Library History Buff website is divided into three broad categories. The "Library History" category includes Web pages with information about library history. The "Librariana" category includes Web pages with information about the collecting of library memorabilia and artifacts. The "Postal Librariana" category includes Web pages with information about the collecting of postal artifacts related to libraries.

There is also a listing of stamps that feature libraries, librarians, archivists and other related people or things.

Shown above is an interesting 2007 first day cover with two library stamps. The contains both and is signed by Betty Stone, president of the American Library Association and Daniel Boorstin, Librarian of Congress.
