What Friends of the Auberry Library does
Mission
The Friends of the Auberry Library's mission is to support the Auberry Library as it strives to encourage literacy and lifelong learning and to provide a vibrant cultural gathering place: to enhance the Library's resources and services: and to increase the community's access to information and knowledge.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
First Grade Book Gift Program: Valley Iron Inc. donates approximately $1,500 annually to provide 3 books to each promoting first grader in our three local elementary schools. The Auberry branch of the Fresno County Public Library provides small additional items to encourage reading that go into each bag. Bags are personally delivered to classrooms in May of each school year.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars.
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
41% of FRIENDS OF THE AUBERRY LIBRARY’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (65% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $323 arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
