There are a total of 131,225 libraries on the planet which we need to
get these materials out to. 22,423 of those are done, leaving a
balance of 108,802 to complete.
First, here are some interesting facts and figures:
One out of every 6 people in the world is a registered library user
(that is over 1,000,000,000 - 1 billion - people).
U.S. public libraries have a total of 148,000,000 (148 million)
library cardholders. They circulate 5,400,000 items per day. This is
comparable to FEDEX, which ships 5,300,000 packages a day.
U.S. public library visits per year total 1,116,000,000 (that's a
billion)

LRH books are in 22,423 (This figure seems inflated). That leaves
108,802 libraries in the world that are without LRH tech.
Already purchased = 22,423 x $450 = $10,090,350
Yet to be purchased = 108,802 x $450 = $48,960,900

It is a soul-cleansing procedure that only costs $1,000
and then salvation will be yours! After your
membership, you return every six months, pay $500 and get checked out
to make
sure the purtiy of your soul has not been tainted by the ever present
forces of evil.
Of course, there will be many of my books to buy, but
you don't need to buy all of them at once. What do you think?
My god, that is a lot of tax-exempt money! I can't believe how much
the Church stands to make on this. Of course, they won't get a set of
books in every library.
I don't find that to be a realistic goal. Still
though, they stand to make a lot of money on this.

Thanks so much for posting this. It is IMO an excellent snapshot of how
active the cult is in relative terms, though unfortunately it doesn't
include every country. I assume these are returns from USA and ASO Europe
only - the UK is missing.
I was able to put this into .csv format easily as well. For .csv, a comma
between each item and no commas otherwise please!
Off the top of my head the numbers seem to match known demographic data.
The European total of 2344 compared to the USA's 9513, lower than I would
have expected on a head count of members but perhaps the rich American
families are making big donations. California at 2744 is truly the
homeland of Scientology.

A disaster of unprecedented proportions has taken place in the library
world! When CoS advertised this scheme before, in October 2007, they stated
that there were (*exactly*, as always) 389,953 libraries on the planet (I
presume they're leaving the off-planet libraries for later). Now, there are
only 131,225 left. Two thirds of the planet's libraries have vanished in
the past three months! Why has nobody except Scientology spotted this?
<snip>

Am I correct in thinking that these days, Scientology does its printing
in-house? That would mean the production cost of books is basically only
the cost of paper and ink, and the minimal cost of the slave labour
involved. Even if they use outside printers, the markup to get to $450 must
be staggering. This is literally printing money -- if they can find buyers,
that is. (Taking the "donations" without sending off any books would be
even better, of course.)
<snip>
> Belgium: 886 libraries in total, 29 done, 857 left to go.
Where do they keep getting these numbers from? I've tried to google for an
estimate of how many libraries there are in Belgium, and none seems to
exist. Which isn't surprising, since it's impossible to define what counts
as a library. Even if by "library" they only mean general-interest public
lending libraries, this number is impossibly low. There are 589
municipalities in Belgium, and each of these is required by law to have at
least one such public library. Many have more (in the city where I live,
there are 30, but that's probably the largest number in the country). And
that's not counting non-lending public libraries, academic libraries,
private libraries open to the general public, etc.
But just as the first time round, it shows Scientologists have no idea of
how libraries work. The idea that sending a box of books that nobody wants
to read to a library will result in these books being put on the shelf is
absurd. Clearly, either no Scientologist knows this, or no Scientologist
dares to point it out to upper management.

The cost of printing in house would not be much different from having
the books conventionally. The print-on-demand machines (basically big
photocopiers with automated binding, etc.) are expensive and complex.
That might cost $3 per book vs. $2 per book if they printed several
thousand the regular way. But either way, yes, the markup is a lot.

In the US, they might put the books on the shelf for a year or less.
Then if nobody checks them out, they would sell them for next to
nothing or pulp them. This would, of course, vary by the type and
location of the library.
Scientology was actually a lot more effective back when they were
stealing anti-Scientology books and clipping critical articles out of
bound magazines. They really got into that activity during the 1970s.

That Europe vs. USA distribution matches the one of the IAS Patrons list
published in Impact #115 (2006) quite well, IMO. It's 1 to 4.05 (library
donations) vs. 1 to 4.74 (IAS patrons). Not that big a difference, when
dealing with such overall small numbers.

Truly alarming! Unless, of course, the distinction is that these are
libraries on the planet "which we need to get these materials out to."
Could they be suggesting that there are 258,728 libraries that they
feel don't need the books? (It's not the ones that already have them,
because that's 22,423.)
This whole plan has my mind going around in circles. Say I'm a
Scientologist and I live in one of the "DONE!" locales. Does that mean
I can simply walk into any library branch and borrow the Basic books
as I need them, without having to buy them myself? If not, who's
supposed to be checking them out? Non-Scientologists? (Sorry, I don't
mean in reality, I just mean within the scope of their big plan.) Or
is the idea not to have them checked out, but simply to make people
"believe you're there"?
P.S. LOL at "off-planet libraries"!

And yet they can't afford to purchase the books they make themselves
for next to nothing and get the flock to leave the books lying around
libraries until the librarians find them and throw them out.
They could have books in every library by next week that way. They can
certainly afford it, if they can afford to buy all that image-propping
real estate. So getting the books in libraries isn't the real target
here. Wonder what it i$?
Is it the licensing fees that make the books so expensive, or what? I
thought Scientology, Inc. was Hubbard's "gift to mankind."

The list of these supposedly "DONE!" locales is highly entertaining in
itself. Outside the US, it consists of Kazakhstan and Slovakia. Within the
US of Colorado, Idaho, Mississippi, Missouri, Nevada, Utah, Wyoming, and
the District of Columbia. Are those the places where those approximately
9.9 million of missing Scientologists are hiding out?

Correction, I got my numbers muddled up somehow. The library donations are
indeed much more heavily slanted towards the US. One can't be exact since
no numbers are given for the "DONE!" areas, but on a recount I make it 2148

that means the US/Europe ratio is 4.42 to one. The equivalent IAS patron
ratio is 1.79 to one. Sorry.

Russia has always been European rather than Asian, since the Mongols left

Only geography makes Israel Asian; economically and culturally for

Both highly debatable statements. In the case of Israel, it highly depends
on what kind of Israelis one looks at, for instance, and besides the fact
that most of Russia is in Asia, I don't think the current neo-Czarist
regime in Russia is very European either.
I use a simple, "general and workable" definition for Europe: the
membership of the European Union, plus the oddballs Iceland, Norway and
Switzerland (they have to go somewhere).

As good an operational definition as any, I suppose.
But I hope you realize it means Belgium is only half-European, since the
two halves (approximate halves) of the country take turns entering the
Eurovision Song Contest.
