Additional Explanations

FORM 990, PART XI, LINE 9:

“Change in accumulated post retirement benefit obligation 460,399.”

Financial Statement Notes

PART III, LINE 1A:

“Collections whether purchased or contributed are not capitalized by the library. The library also does not capitalize repairs or improvements to inexhaustible collections. All purchases of collection items and repairs or improvements to inexhaustible collections are recorded as decreases in unrestricted net assets in the year in which the items are acquired, or as temporarily restricted net assets, if the assets used to purchase the items were restricted by donors.”

PART X, LINE 2:

“For purposes of the footnote below, the library refers to providence public library and the foundation refers to the related organization providence public library foundation, referenced in sch r, part ii. The library and foundation are public charities exempt from income tax in accordance with section 501(c)(3) of the internal revenue code. However, income from certain activities not directly related to the organization's exempt purpose may be subject to taxation as unrelated business income if income from those activities meets certain levels. Management has determined that those income levels were not met for the year ended june 30, 2017. Management believes that the library and the foundation both operate in a manner consistent with their tax-exempt status at both the state and federal level. The library and foundation annually file irs form 990 - return of organization exempt from income tax, reporting various information that the irs uses to monitor the activities of tax-exempt entities. The library and the foundation currently have no tax examinations in progress.”
