Overview
Mission
Operation, maintenance and purchase of materials for local public library in Happy Camp, California.
What it reported doing in 2025
Replace torn and loose carpeting which was a serious tripping hazard. Replace linoleum which was cracked and worn. Replace bookshelves that have been repaired many times. Falling shelves full of books was a hazard to clients. The lighting which was very old and inadequate for reading has been upgraded. The electrical wiring is also old and has been replaced to handle existing loads.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 97% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filed totals do not add up and expenses are high relative to revenue.
