Governance Explanations
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11B
“The pawling free library has its form 990 prepared by its independent certified public accounting firm. Once the form 990 has been prepared, it is then reviewed by management. Then the form 990 is sent electronically to the board members of the organization for any comments. Any comments are then grouped, summarized and provided to the outside accounting firm. Each comment is documented and addressed until the return is finalized and approved for filing with the internal revenue service.”
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12C
“The pawling free library has a conflict of interest policy applicable to all board trustees, staff members and officers requiring disclosure of all actual and potential conflicts. There is an obligation for board trustees to remain in compliance with this policy throughout the year. Compliance with the policy is monitored continuously at board meetings throughout the year. The policy is reviewed annually. If a conflict is disclosed, the board decides the appropriate action on a case by case basis. Full disclosure, by notice in writing, shall be made by the interested parties to the full board of trustees in all conflicts of interest. Following full disclosure of a possible conflict, the board of trustees shall determine whether a conflict of interest exists and if so, the board shall vote to authorize or reject the transaction or take any other action deemed necessary to address the conflict and protect the library's best interest. Vote shall be a majority without the interested director.”
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15A
“An executive board session is held to discuss the library director's performance for the year of which the board president takes the lead on this discussion. All board trustees offer their opinions and a consensus is reached about his performance. From there, along with the finance committee budget recommendations, a decision is made on the director's salary. This process occurs annually and was last undertaken december, 2020.”
Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19
“The organization makes its form 990 available for public inspection as required under section 6104 of the internal revenue code. The return is posted on guidestar.org and other similar types of websites. In addition, the financial statements, conflict of interest policy, articles of incorporation and by-laws are also available upon written request at 11 broad street, pawling, ny 12564-1002.”

| IRS990/Desc | 0 | THE PAWLING FREE LIBRARY IS A FREE LENDING LIBRARY THAT ALSO PROVIDES VARIOUS PUBLIC PROGRAMS FOR ADULTS, TEENS AND CHILDREN. PROGRAMS ARE GEARED TOWARDS AN INCREASE IN LEARNING, LITERACY AND EDUCATION AS WELL AS ENTERTAINMENT AND PERSONAL IMPROVEMENT. THESE SERVICES ARE OFFERED TO THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY OF PAWLING AND HOLMES.EVEN THOUGH NOBODY SET FOOT IN THE LIBRARY FOR OVER THREE MONTHS, WE WERE STILL ABLE TO PUT BOOKS INTO THE HANDS OF CHILDREN THANKS TO THE PAWLING RESOURCE CENTER AND THE PAWLING CENTRAL SCHOOL DISTRICT. WE ASSEMBLED OVER 300 KITS WITH DONATED BOOKS AND EDUCATIONAL MATERIALS, WHICH THESE TWO PARTNERS DISTRIBUTED TO FAMILIES. EVEN BEFORE STAFF WAS ALLOWED TO RETURN TO THE BUILDING, 992 PATRONS RECEIVED PHONE CALLS TO LET THEM KNOW ABOUT SERVICES AND RESOURCES THAT WERE STILL AVAILABLE. ONCE WE WERE ALLOWED TO WORK FROM INSIDE THE LIBRARY, WE WERE ABLE TO SCHEDULE OVER 500 CONTACTLESS PICKUPS OF OUR REGULAR CIRCULATING MATERIALS SUCH AS BOOKS, MOVIES, MAGAZINES, AUDIOBOOKS, AND VIDEO GAMES. THAT DOESN'T EVEN FACTOR IN THE 1,545 TAKE HOME KITS THAT WE GAVE TO CHILDREN AND FAMILIES OVER THE COURSE OF THE YEAR! 459 ESOL AND TUTORING SESSIONS WERE HELD: FIRST, IN PERSON BEFORE THE PANDEMIC STRUCK AND LATER, THROUGH REMOTE LEARNING FOR THE MAJORITY OF THE YEAR. ADDITIONALLY, THERE WERE 17,580 WIFI SESSIONS- AN INCREASE OF 702 SESSIONS OVER THOSE RECORDED IN 2019, DESPITE BEING FULLY CLOSED FOR A FOUR-MONTH PERIOD DURING 2020!REGARDLESS OF ALL THAT WAS DISTRESSING IN 2020, WE WERE STILL ABLE TO PROVIDE A BRAND-NEW SERVICE! THANKS IN PART TO A GRANT FROM THE PAWLING COMMUNITY FOUNDATION, WE STARTED OFFERING THE OPPORTUNITY TO STREAM MOVIES. PEOPLE CLEARLY LIKED THE IDEA, BECAUSE COMMUNITY MEMBERS STREAMED 880 MOVIES, WHICH KEPT A LOT OF FOLKS HAPPILY OCCUPIED DURING THIS STRESSFUL YEAR OF LOCK-DOWN AND QUARANTINE. FINALLY, ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT NUMBERS WE PROUDLY SHARE IS ZERO. BECAUSE OF OUR COMMITMENT TO KEEPING OUR STAFF AND OUR PATRONS SAFE BY INSTITUTING PROTOCOLS MEANT TO SHIELD EVERYONE FROM COVID-19 CONTAMINATION, WE ARE THRILLED TO REPORT THAT THROUGHOUT ALL OF 2020, WE HAD 0 CASES OF COVID-19 INFECTION REPORTED WITHIN THE LIBRARY.WE DRASTICALLY EXPANDED OUR DIGITAL RESOURCES IN 2020. NOT ONLY DID WE PURCHASE EBOOKS AND AUDIOBOOKS FOR OVERDRIVE/LIBBY AT AN UNPRECEDENTED CLIP, WE ALSO INCREASED ACCESS TO STREAMING VIDEO BY ADDING KANOPY AND HOOPLA. LATER, ONCE THE 100% WORK-FROM-HOME ORDER WAS LIFTED, WE INTRODUCED THE MYLIBRO APP AND BEGAN OFFERING CONTACTLESS CHECKOUT OF PHYSICAL ITEMS. WE CONTINUED TO OFFER CONTACTLESS CHECKOUT EVEN AFTER WE EVENTUALLY GOT CLEARANCE TO ALLOW VISITORS INTO THE LIBRARY BUILDING.SOCIAL DISTANCING REQUIREMENTS DID NOT PREVENT US FROM CONTINUING TO OFFER PROGRAMS AND EVENTS FOR PEOPLE OF ALL AGES. SOME OF OUR LONGSTANDING PROGRAMS LIKE AFTERNOON YOGA, BOOK BUDDIES, AND ROBLOX CLUB SIMPLY MOVED ONLINE. IN OTHER CASES, WE INTRODUCED BRAND NEW ONLINE PROGRAMS SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED FOR OUR NEW CONTEXT LIKE A PARENTING SUPPORT GROUP AND LECTURES ABOUT THE LATEST COVID-19 INFORMATION. WE ALSO CREATED ON-DEMAND CONTENT LIKE STORY TIME BITES SO THAT PEOPLE COULD PARTICIPATE IN LIBRARY PROGRAMS AT TIMES THAT FIT BEST INTO THEIR SCHEDULES. KNOWING THAT THE LAST THING SOME PEOPLE NEEDED WAS MORE TIME SITTING IN FRONT OF A COMPUTER, WE ROLLED OUT OUR FIRST EVER TAKE-HOME KIT PROGRAMS. THESE KITS HAVE BEEN A HUGE HIT WITH LOCAL FAMILIES. |
