For anyone out there who might still think of contributing large sums to organized scientology’s “library donation campaigns”, I present to you some photographic proof of what happens with books sent to the libraries.
For a few years many of us have bought books like “the basics” , still in shrink-wrap, from libraries who received them as donations and who wanted nothing to do with them. Most of us paid $1 each for the books.What did you pay to “donate them” to the libraries?
In my case, the libraries from which I got “the basics”still in shrink-wrap for $1 each said they wanted nothing to do with LRH or his scientology books. Many others posted on different forums saying the exact same thing happened to them.
I decided to try to find the complete set of the new “L Ron Hubbard Series” and see if I could get the whole set from a library that received them from Bridge Publications as per the library donation campaign. And I only wanted them if they were still shrink-wrapped and unwanted by the library. Although I wanted the set of volumes at $1 each I was willing to go up to $3 each.
Well I got them for just over $2 each plus postage. What did organized scientology charge you tohelp donate these books to libraries?
In case you want some proof, please enjoy the following photos I just took:
The first shows both boxes that contained all 16 volumes of “The L. Ron Hubbard Series”. Notice that they are from “Bridge Publications”and marked in bold “DONATION ENCLOSED”:
Next check out a close up of one of the mailing labels. You can see that it is addressed to me and that it is from the “Tunkhannok PublicLibrary”:
Next see the “Acknowledgment of Receipt” that Bridge Publications wanted the library to send to them. The library wanted nothing to do with it and sent it to me. Rest assured that I will send in that acknowledgment thanking Bridge for the set and I will express my upset that I had to pay a little over $2 for each book in the set when I feel they may be worth more like $1 each:
Next notice that I got all 16 volumes:
And finally here are two examples showing the shrink wrap was indeed still on:
and
So there you have it, scientology’s “library donation campaign” at work.
PS: Even though I had to pay just over $2 each for these when I had hoped to just pay $1 each, I think I did a lot better than those of you who got them from Bridge Publications.
On their website Bridge Publications says:

You are being lied to and made a fool of by Miscavige when they tell you how many libraries have the books and then demand you pay a huge sum to “donate” them to remaining libraries.
Walk away.
