For those who appreciate historic, insightful and even obscure information about USPS, this is a favorite time of year. The 2014 edition of Postal Facts now is available.
As in past years, the new Postal Facts covers the waterfront on all things postal, ranging from the organization’s size and scope to its history to “Fun Facts” (the most common Post Office name is “Clinton,” with 26 locations).
Although Postal Facts continues to be available in a printed format, USPS has expanded the information available on its online version of the publication.
Included in the 2014 edition is information on how USPS continues to adapt to a digital culture with usps.com and its popular mobile apps; how information technology has transformed the organization; and the organization’s embrace of innovative mailing solutions. Also featured is the Postal Service’s support of green technologies in the processing and delivery of the nation’s mail.
Postal Facts also focuses on the traditional values that make USPS unique, such as the sanctity and security of the U.S. Mail. Also featured is the Postal Service’s community outreach through such efforts as the annual Stamp Out Hunger food drive, the Delivering the Gift of Life campaign and “Letters to Santa.”
PMG Pat Donahoe says the publication is a “great resource” on USPS. “Postal Facts tells our story in an interesting and fun way,” he says in an introduction to the 2014 edition. “I hope you’ll keep it handy ad spend some time learning about us.”
