On 8 May 2022, a 4.50 PLN postage stamp of the "80th Anniversary of the POSK Polish Library in London" issue was put into circulation.
The POSK Polish Library in London, one of the largest Polish libraries outside Poland, was founded in 1942. It specialises in collecting emigration publications.

The Library also collects documents of social life of the emigration (invitations, daily papers, event programmes, exhibition catalogues, posters, etc.).
The issue was realized with the support of the POSK Polish Library in London. The applicant was the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
On the postage stamp a graphic artist depicted books and in the background the Big Ben tower in London.
The stamps were printed using offset technology, on fluorescent paper, in 39.5 x 31.25 mm format, in an edition of 126 000 pieces. A sales sheet contains 9 stamps.
