What it reported doing in 2024

The moores memorial library is a small town library with a lot to offer our community. We have a huge wooden block collection and assorted people and animals to help youngsters' imaginations. We have free movie nights for our community. The preschool population is not forgotten, with a weekly story time and preschool play times. Our public use of computers are an asset to our patrons. We offer homework help and computer help for those in need. Circulation items from the library's collection and professional assistance in the use of the library's collection are provided to approximately 25,000 visiting patrons. The library has over 2,500 registered cardholders who checked out over 60,000 items in the last year. Computer usage had over 5,000 log-ins.

Operating model

Revenue model
Grant-funded. 63% of the money available for current operations came from government grants.
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. Expenses are high relative to revenue and fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised.
