One of my daily tasks at work is to go the the post office to check the mail. And if you know me you know I have a strange love of the Post Office. Not sure where that love comes from but I love mail. I love sending it I love receiving it.
Generally when we receive packages for the library they come via UPS or FedEx rarely do they come through the US Mail (that is unless they are InterLibrary Loan and they come Library Rate). Yesterday we had a package slip in our mail drawer, which usually indicates that we had too much mail for the drawer. That was not the case yesterday. It was an actual box it wasn't a big box but it was very heavy, too heavy to walk back to the library. So I took the mail back to the library and retrieved my car. I asked my coworker if she was expecting a package of books and she wasn't.
Once back at the library we eagerly opened the box wondering what this mysterious package was, it indicated on the outside that "donations were included". Strange. We opened it and lo and behold inside this heavy box were at least 15 books published by the Church of Scientology, all authored by none other than Ron Hubbard. How generous of them. Not sure what we'll do with them, but they could be interesting artifacts in a course on worldview study.
