Figure 2. The APRL Digital collection has roughly doubled its monthly unique<br />
users (members and non-members alike) since June.<br />
include 72 digital exhibits. In addition, there are a number<br />
of books that we will pursue to digitize and upload into<br />
the database. For 2021, the APRL is also looking into the<br />
inclusion of the Annual Postmaster General Reports, and if<br />
funding becomes available, will begin the task of digitizing<br />
the American Bank Note Company files which<br />
are housed in the Archives section of the library.<br />
Help Us to Grow<br />
As we improve the database and make some of<br />
the aforementioned additions, we need your help<br />
to make this happen. Your one time or continuing<br />
donation to the Adopt-A-Book campaign (support.<br />
stamps.org.adoptabook) will help the library begin<br />
and further its digitization goals for the year and<br />
enable the APRL to bring its resources to members<br />
worldwide in the future. In addition to donating to<br />
the Adopt-A-Book campaign, clubs, societies and<br />
organizations can also assist us by contacting the<br />
library (stiffney@stamps.org) to begin the process<br />
of having their journal, newsletter or publication<br />
become part of the digital collections database.<br />
We look forward to hearing from you and continuing the<br />
services, content and access that our members expect and<br />
demand from your philatelic library.<br />
