About the Event
Philately for Life!
A program for kids on stamp collecting
August 9th, 12-1:45pm
For kids and teens
Registration is required
Did you know that President FDR was a stamp collector? For a long time, stamps have been not only a convenient way to send mail but also to support our local post offices. But stamps have been a forgotten hobby of the past, doomed to remain in the dusty boxes of our grandparents, never to be treasured again. But YOU have the power to reunite the world of philately with a younger generation and keep the beauty of stamps alive! Stamps are an easy (and cheap!) way to connect with history and geography, enjoy art from all over the world, and collect by sending letters to friends and family!
Registration is required for this fun event. You can register at our Reference Desk, or by calling us at 414-357-0106.
