Mission and programs · 2023

Mission

THE MISSION OF THE LITITZ PUBLIC LIBRARY IS TO PROVIDE MATERIALS, SERVICES, AND PROGRAMS FOR EDUCATIONAL, RECREATIONAL, AND CULTURAL ENRICHMENT TO RESIDENTS OF LITITZ BOROUGH, WARWICK TOWNSHIP, AND ELIZABETH TOWNSHIP.

  • THE LITITZ PUBLIC LIBRARY HAS BEEN TRUE TO A STRATEGIC VISION THAT IMAGINES A VIBRANT HUB FOR LEARNING AND RECREATION, OFFERING NOT ONLY A WIDE VARIETY OF LEISURE-READING AND EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES, BUT LOTS OF ENTERTAINING AND ENRICHING PROGRAMS AS WELL. OUR LIBRARY IS A PLACE WHERE PEOPLE CAN LEARN SOMETHING NEW AND CONNECT WITH OTHERS IN THE COMMUNITY. ACTIVITIES FOCUS ON BUILDING LITERACY SKILLS. THIS PRIMARILY MEANS LITERACY IN THE CLASSIC SENSE; WE PROVIDE PROGRAMS AND RESOURCES THAT HELP OUR CHILDREN LEARN TO READ SO THEY CAN SUCCEED IN SCHOOL. WE ALSO RECOGNIZE OUR ROLE IN PROMOTING DIGITAL LITERACY, THE VARIETY OF SKILLS THAT INCLUDE EVERYTHING FROM THE ABILITY TO SEARCH A DATABASE AND RETRIEVE INFORMATION FOR LIFELONG LEARNING TO THE ABILITY TO COMPLETE AND DISSEMINATE AN ONLINE RESUME IN A JOB SEARCH TO TROUBLESHOOTING THE NEW DIGITAL DEVICE A PATRON RECEIVED AS A GIFT. ACTIVITIES ALSO FOCUS ON LIFELONG ENRICHMENT. OUR AGING POPULATION AND THE INCREASING AMOUNT OF TIME PEOPLE SPEND IN RETIREMENT RESULTS IN A DEMAND FOR ENGAGING LEISURE ACTIVITIES. ADDITIONALLY, IN AN ECONOMY WHERE AUTOMATION AND GLOBALIZATION ARE ADAPTING AND EVEN ELIMINATING CERTAIN JOBS, WORKERS WILL SEE THE CONTINUAL NEED FOR INFORMAL LEARNING AS A WAY OF LIFE. WE RECOGNIZE OUR ROLE IN PROVIDING DYNAMIC, ENGAGING PROGRAMS THAT BRIDGE THE GAP BETWEEN FORMAL EDUCATION AND LEARNING FOR SELF- ENRICHMENT. STATISTICS ILLUSTRATE THE COMMUNITY'S ENGAGEMENT WITH OUR LIBRARY. THE LIBRARY WAS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC 60 HOURS EACH WEEK AND PROVIDED ACCESS TO OVER 89,096 BOOKS, AUDIOBOOKS, EBOOKS, E-AUDIOBOOKS, FILMS, AND MUSIC CDS FOR USE BY THE PUBLIC AT NO CHARGE. THESE ITEMS WERE BORROWED 384,091 TIMES IN 2021. THREE LIBRARY STAFF MEMBERS HOLD PROFESSIONAL MASTERS-LEVEL DEGREES. LIBRARY STAFF PROVIDED EARLY LITERACY PROGRAMS IN PRESCHOOLS. APPROXIMATELY 50 VOLUNTEERS PROVIDED A VARIETY OF ESSENTIAL SERVICES. PUBLIC INTERNET COMPUTERS WERE USED 3,632 TIMES AND THERE WERE 5,904 WIRELESS LOGINS; 19,559 ADULTS, TEENS AND CHILDREN ATTENDED 881 LIBRARY PROGRAMS,INCLUDING STORYTIMES, STEM ACTIVITIES FOR YOUTH, BOOK AND FILM DISCUSSIONS,INFORMATIONAL PRESENTATIONS AND SPECIAL EVENTS.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.

Grants made

No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.

Grants received

Other IRS files

Auto-Revocation List

Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.

Publication 78

Listed as of 13 October 2026, under deductibility PC.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.

The registration facts above come from the IRS Business Master File published 13 October 2026 and read 26 October 2026, for every organization at once. Returns through tax year 2023, the newest we have parsed for this organization.
