When I lived in the dorms in undergrad there were few things more awesome to get in your mailbox than the slip notifying you that a package had arrived. Apparently nothing has changed in six years. I went to check the library's mailbox this afternoon and lo and behold, a package notification! Not even just one, but two different boxes, one of which was directly addressed to me by name; the other had been addressed to "Library". It's not even my stuff, and I had been expecting all of the materials to show up, yet the novelty of getting that slip in the mailbox and the anticipation of opening up a box containing new books is still powerful. It's the small things in life.
Also: bubble wrap.
On the other hand, it's sort of a bummer to get a package notification in your personal mailbox, only to find that it's actually for library business.
