Supplemental Narrative

Financial Statement Notes

PART X, LINE 2:

“For purposes of the footnote below, the foundation refers to providence public library foundation and the library refers to the related organization providence public library, 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 tax-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 the 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. These tax returns are subject to review by the taxing authorities, generally for a period of three years after they were filed. The library and the foundation currently have no tax examinations in progress.”

PART V: ENDOWMENT FUNDS

“Endowment composition by type of fund at the organization's year end is as follows: general operations $ 977,045 various book funds $3,208,395 total $4,185,440”
