Mission
To establish, maintain and regulate a free public nonsectarian library in the borough of robesonia and also serving neighboring communities, including heidelberg township, north heidelberg township and others.

Our collection totals 23,392 items of print and audio/visual resources. During 2024, we were open 50 hours weekly. In 2024, we had 18,415 visits to the library. We had 273 programs in 2024. Some of the programs that were hosted were a weekly storytime for preschoolers, a weekly knitting and crochet program, teen time, and visual art and stem programs for kids. In addition, we offered various take-home kits, like our craft packs and teen book drops,which provided books and activities for patrons to do at home.

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. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2022 to 2023, from $161k to $194k (+21%).
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.
95% of ROBESONIA COMMUNITY LIBRARY’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (57% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 4 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.
Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 2 funders, grant income rose $5k → $5k.
1 of 2 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 0% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

ROBESONIA COMMUNITY LIBRARY leans on a few funders — its largest provides 100% of grant income and the top three 100%; half comes from just 1 funder.

“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. 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.
Where its funders are

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $176 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.
Against its field
ROBESONIA COMMUNITY LIBRARY's funding base is broadening — from 1 funders to 2 as grant income climbed.
