Librarian wants stamp act

The NY Daily News has a report on 77-year-old retired librarian Vladimir Wertsman. He is mounting a drive to see more of the world’s librarians honored with commemorative stamps.

To bolster his campaign, the dapper Wertsman, who is also a stamp collector and chairman of the Publishing and Multicultural Materials Committee of the American Library Association, has penned an article for that group’s Multicultural Review winter publication surveying countries honoring world heroes on stamps.
