Mission and programs · 2023

Mission

The Community Library brings information, ideas, and individuals together to enhance the cultural life of the community.

Activities or mission (Part I)

To bring information, ideas, and individuals together to enhance the cultural life of the community. The Community Library Association is a privately funded, privately-governed, publicly-minded cultural institution including a library, a museum, and the Hemingway House and Preserve. The overarching priorities of The Community Library Association are to promote literacy, encourage community conversations, provide contemplative space, foster creativity and deepen a sense of place in central Idaho.

  • General circulation: The Community Library Association provides access to books and learning materials for anyone, for free. The circulating collection includes more than 80,000 physical items and also a wide range of digital resources, including online databases, platforms, and streaming services; 8,818 titles were added to the collection this fiscal year. In this fiscal year, more than 114,000 visitors (door count) came to The Community Library and/or used the bookmobile and/or used the digital branch (the website). More than 143,000 items were circulated.

    Expenses $2,163,730

  • The Community Library provides free educational programs to both adults and children. The total number of programs presented is an average of 14 per week, across all departments. This is more than 700 programs annually. These programs include lectures, author readings, school programs and field trips, story times, technology tutorials, a summer reading program, and community book clubs, as well as a 3-day reading summit for early literacy teachers. Many of these educational programs also are available virtually. More than 16,000 individuals (total program count) participated in free educational programming in this fiscal year.

    Expenses $295,443 · Grants $50,500 · Revenue $11,011

  • The Community Library serves as a regional history hub for Central Idaho. The Library's Jeanne Rodger Lane Center for Regional History houses a collection of more than 10,000 photographs, 500 oral histories, 2,000 books, and also maps, documents, three-dimensional objects, and ephemera. It includes a special Ernest Hemingway collection pertaining to the author's extensive time spent in the Sun Valley area. It also is responsible for the stewardship of the historic Ernest and Mary Hemingway House and Preserve. The Center for Regional History is used by professional and amateur scholars, students, and visitors to study the history of Ketchum and Sun Valley, and Central Idaho generally. (Continued on Schedule O)In July of 2023, we opened the Wood River Museum of History and Culture as the exhibit space for the Center for Regional History. It includes five exhibit galleries. In this fiscal year, more than 25,000 (door count) visitors came to the Museum.

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. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us. 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

The 10 largest by cash amount. The API serves every itemized grant.

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 11 November 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.
