The “Bund Deutscher Philatelisten e.V.” reports that the shelves at the Heinrich Köhler Philatelic Library in Frankfurt have been severely damaged. The library needs help securing the collection by purchasing used shelves.
If you are able to help the library, please contact info@phila-bibliothek.de or bjoern.rosenau@briefmarkenverein-frankfurt.clubdesk.com via email. Even if you cannot help yourself, please forward this message; perhaps someone else can assist.
The library holds approximately 25,000 items, including handbooks, catalogs, journals, exhibition catalogs, auction catalogs, DVDs, and more. Together with the philatelic libraries in Munich (over 65,000 items) and Hamburg (over 40,000), it is one of the larger philatelic libraries in Germany. You can find a detailed report on the library here.
