National Library Week

Round-Up reader Larry T. Nix of Middleton, WI writes to remind everyone that this is National Library Week.

National Library Week is an annual celebration of the contributions of our nation's libraries and librarians. All types of libraries - school, public, academic and special - participate.

National Library Week 2009 will be celebrated with the theme, "Worlds connect @ your library."

As shown above, The American Library Association is using a
postmark/cancellation and stamp design and to illustrate and promote the theme.

Larry says he has added a new page on his Library History Buff Web site that provides information on philatelic libraries. According to Larry it supplements a "Library News" column he does for Philatelic Literature Review.

Larry is also running for Trustee of the American Philatelic Research Library. Click here to check out his candidate statement.
