For books and periodicals that do not circulate, volunteer philatelists will gladly do the preliminary research for you and copy whatever pages you want (but not entire books). This research service is available whether or not you wish to check out any books, and many philatelists and writers take advantage of this service. There is a service charge of US$0.15 per page for photocopying plus postage to cover our out-of-pocket costs. Color scans may also be available -- please enquire.
Our library is open to the public, and you need not be a Member to borrow from the circulating collection, request assistance on research, or to come in and do the research yourself. Postal (out-of-area) borrowers are responsible for postage and insurance both ways, and all borrowers are financially responsible for the books they borrow. Books that are difficult to replace do not circulate.
To request a book or help with your research, please call the WPL at 408-733-0336, email us or post a letter to us at PO BOX 2219, Sunnyvale, CA 94087.
