The United States Postal Service (USPS) is inviting some public libraries to double as local post offices in areas where post offices are closing or reducing hours. The Village Post Office (VPO) program offers basic services including mail collection and sale of stamps and flat rate packaging boxes. Libraries interested in the program can contact vpo.inquiry@usps.gov or (888) 711-7577. For more information check out Meredith Schwartz’s Library Journal article, “Libraries Could Double As Post Offices“.
