The Centre Daily Times, the major newspaper serving the home of the APS and APRL in Centre County, stopped by last week to learn more about the library and the work we do.
The students, 4 of whom had volunteered at the APRL previously, moved a few remaining archival collections from the Morse Building into boxes in the new library’s closed stacks, unpacked a recent donation of Swiss philatelic literature from Edith and Dale Eggen, and moved boxes of Rob Haeseler’s philatelic library onto shelves.

Features
This month’s featured resource are the informative and highly readable Linn’s U.S. Stamp Yearbooks. Begun in 1983 as an offshoot of various columns in Linn’s Stamp News regarding each year’s new U.S. stamps and postal stationery, the annual Linn’s U.S. Stamp Yearbooks go beyond the standard, or even specialized, catalog in providing a wealth of information regarding many aspects of each year’s U.S. releases in a convenient and thoroughly illustrated format.

The December and January acquisitions lists posted on this blog each included a number of volumes on Indiana county postal history. There was not sufficient space in the first quarter 2017 Philatelic Literature Review to list them all individually, so following is a list of the 88 volumes acquired by the library in December 2016. The library already had 2 volumes, so we now have 90 volumes covering all but 2 (Ripley and Vigo) of Indiana’s 92 counties. 
As last month, this month’s additions to the library also include a number of volumes on the postal history of Indiana counties. In all, there are 90 volumes covering all but 2 (Ripley and Vigo) of Indiana’s 92 counties. There were so many they didn’t all get cataloged in the same month!
