The Guyana Philatelic Library was officially opened yesterday with a ceremony that was held at the Guyana Post Office Corporation on North Street, Georgetown.
The library, which will feature a wide variety of stamps, is an initiative of the Guyana Philatelic Society. President of the Society Ann Wood informed that they have accumulated a variety of stamps from the American, Royal, San Diego, and Rocky Mountain philatelic societies and will continue to do so. The facility, she said, has come at a critical time when communication by email has reduced the need for letter writing.
