Toozeday Nooze

Toozeday Nooze
EDITION 637 - 09/08/2026
The monthly board meeting will be this Saturday.
The library will have an open house on the 20th from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM. There will be hourly drawings and food. Plan to come and see all that the library offers. It is always free to attend. We are also happy to welcome new members. The library is much more than a collection of 1000's of books and catalogs covering many philatelic topics. We also have dozens red boxes of U.S. and Worldwide stamps for you to look through and fill holes in your collection for a small donation equaling a fraction of their catalog value. It's a great place to meet other collectors and visit with some of our experts to assist you in identifying your stamps and covers. One thing that most of our visitors miss is the stamp lab that has equipment for stamp identification and fly specking. The lab has everything from simple tools for perforation and watermark detection to more advanced equipment such as high-powered microscopes.

Our presentation this month will be held on the 26th , at 10:00 AM. The topic is "Paper Tagging and Ink" by Mark Stockburger.
The Second Sunday show will actually be on the 4th Sunday this month due to scheduling conflicts at the venue.
My cover this week has a single Scott #828 to get the service of registered airmail with return receipt. This was the proper rate of 24 cents.

To sign up for the Toozeday Nooze go to our website at NORPS.org, there you will find a link for the Toozeday Nooze and on the event page where you can sign up to receive the Nooze every week and keep up on events and programs at the library as well as happenings with the local stamp clubs and shows. I have been told this does not work with some phones but should be accessible from your computer. You do not need to be a member of the library to receive this, but I encourage you to do so. We are run and organized 100% by volunteers and your donations keep the doors open and the lights on.
