Charles Bodner is at it again

I just received a packet of random papers from him. A few poems that were racist, goodwill receipts and unrelated letters from courthouses and others, a playing card - and a print out of a listing of local libraries, including mine. What are people's thoughts on the packets/what he's doing? I'm completely confused as to why he's sending this to me - or anyone. Amber L Hughey, MLIS Director Bridgeport Public Library 989-777-6030

Does anyone know of an open source library automation software package that would be suitable for a small non-profit organization’s growing library. We house books, AV, an archive and the beginnings of a museum. We would like the catalog and archive to be searchable on the internet. Thanks for any replies, Nancy Waters, St. Andrew’s Society of Detroit Sent from my iPhone
