| PART IV, SECTION D, LINE 2 | THE HUNTSVILLE MADISON COUNTY PUBLIC LIBRARY IS SERVED BY A BOARD OF DIRECTORS WITH 7 MEMBERS. FOR FY 2020, THE HUNTSVILLE LIBRARY FOUNDATION BOARD WAS SERVED BY A BOARD OF DIRECTORS WITH 27 MEMBERS. EACH BOARD MEETS ON A REGULAR BASIS AS SCHEDULED AT THE BEGINNING OF EACH FISCAL OR CALENDAR YEAR. THE LIBRARY BOARD AND THE FOUNDATION BOARD MEET EVERY OTHER MONTH. A DESIGNATED REPRESENTATIVE FROM THE LIBRARY BOARD ATTENDS ALL FOUNDATION MEETINGS, WHILE A DESIGNATED REPRESENTATIVE FROM THE FOUNDATION BOARD ATTENDS ALL LIBRARY BOARD MEETINGS. CURRENTLY, AND TRADITIONALLY, THE CHAIR FOR EACH BOARD IS ASSIGNED THIS RESPONSIBILITY. |
| PART IV, SECTION E, LINE 1C | BECAUSE OF THE CROSS ATTENDANCE AND GAINED KNOWLEDGE BETWEEN THE BOARDS, THERE IS AN UNDERSTANDING OF THE NEEDS OF THE LIBRARY AND THE CAPACITY OF THE FOUNDATION. REQUESTS FOR FUNDING COME FROM THE STAFF OR LIBRARY BOARD. ALL FUNDS MADE AVAILABLE TO THE LIBRARY ARE INCLUDED IN AN ANNUAL OPERATING BUDGET, WHICH REQUIRES AN APPROVAL VOTE FROM THE FOUNDATION BEFORE SUCH FUNDS ARE DISTRIBUTED. |

| FORM 990 - ORGANIZATION'S MISSION | THE HUNTSVILLE LIBRARY FOUNDATION (HLF) WAS ESTABLISHED IN 1986 TO ASSIST IN FUNDRAISING FOR A NEW DOWNTOWN LIBRARY TO SERVE HUNTSVILLE AND MADISON COUNTY. SINCE THAT TIME, THE HLF HAS GROWN IN BOTH SCOPE AND BOARD MEMBER SIZE. THE HLF'S PRIMARY ROLE TODAY IS TO RAISE AWARENESS AND FUNDING FOR THE HUNTSVILLE-MADISON COUNTY PUBLIC LIBRARY, CURRENTLY CONSISTING OF 11 LOCATIONS; 5 WITHIN THE CITY OF HUNTSVILLE, AND 6 OTHERS ACROSS MADISON COUNTY: TRIANA PUBLIC LIBRARY, MADISON PUBLIC LIBRARY, MONROVIA PUBLIC LIBRARY, TILLMAN D. HILL PUBLIC LIBRARY, GURLEY PUBLIC LIBRARY, AND ELIZABETH CARPENTER PUBLIC LIBRARY OF NEW HOPE. THE HMCPL'S MISSION STATEMENT IS: THIS IS THE PUBLIC'S LIBRARY. WE EMPOWER INDIVIDUALS TO CREATE THEIR OWN FUTURES, EXPLORE THE UNIVERSE OF IDEAS, AND CONNECT WITH OUR COMMUNITY AND THE WORLD. ALL HLF ACTIVITIES AND EFFORTS ARE IN SUPPORT OF THE LIBRARY'S MISSION. THEREFORE, THE HLF HAS DUAL MISSIONS: 1) TO ADVOCATE FOR THE HMCPL, AND 2) TO ACQUIRE RESOURCES THAT ENHANCE THE LIBRARY'S VALUE TO THE COMMUNITY. IN THE FALL OF 2016, THE HLF ESTABLISHED AN ADVOCACY COMMITTEE, THE GOAL OF WHICH IS TO NETWORK WITH ALL LOCAL AND STATEWIDE GOVERNMENTAL OFFICE HOLDERS TO ENSURE FUNDING IS AVAILABLE FOR THE OPERATIONAL NEEDS OF THE LIBRARY'S 11 LOCATIONS BUT ALSO TO EXPAND PROGRAMMING DOLLARS TO ALLOW FOR TARGETING ACTIVITIES IN EACH LOCATION. SINCE ITS INCEPTION, THE COMMITTEE HAS BEEN SUCCESSFUL IN CONTACTING LOCAL OFFICIALS VIA LETTER AND EMAIL TO SUPPORT A SMALL INCREASE IN OUR PER CAPITA FUNDING FROM THE STATE. OUR BIGGEST FINANCIAL CHALLENGE OVER THE PAST SEVERAL YEARS HAS BEEN TO RAISE CAPITAL CAMPAIGN DOLLARS IN SUPPORT OF ONE NEW REPLACEMENT BRANCH FACILITY LOCATED IN THE CITY OF MADISON AND TWO NEW REPLACEMENT BRANCH FACILITIES IN THE CITY OF HUNTSVILLE (ONE IN NORTH HUNTSVILLE AND ONE IN SOUTH HUNTSVILLE). THE MADISON LIBRARY WAS OPENED TO THE PUBLIC IN JANUARY OF 2018. WE WERE SUCCESSFUL IN RAISING NEARLY 1 MILLION IN NEEDED FUNDS FOR MADISON. CONSTRUCTION IS VERY CLOSE TO COMPLETION ON THE NORTH HUNTSVILLE PUBLIC LIBRARY, AND WE ANTICIPATE OPENING THAT FACILTY IN WINTER 2021. THE SOUTH HUNTSVILLE PUBLIC LIBRARY IS EXPECTED TO BE COMPLETED BY SUMMER 2021. THE HLF PLANS AND HOSTS A LARGE ANNUAL GALA IN THE FALL OF EACH YEAR TO RAISE MONIES. THIS GALA, VIVE LE LIVRE, IS A WELL-LOVED AND WELL-ATTENDED EVENT WITHIN THE MADISON COUNTY COMMUNITY. ON AVERAGE, 450 GUESTS ENJOY AN EVENING OF GOOD FOOD AND A KEYNOTE ADDRESS FROM A WORLD-RENOWNED AUTHOR. TICKET SALES AND SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES GENERATE PROFITS FOR THE EVENT, ALL OF WHICH IS ALLOCATED BACK EXCLUSIVELY TO THE HMCPL. THE HLF HOSTS 3-4 ADDITIONAL AUTHOR EVENTS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR WHERE WE WELCOME AUTHORS ON BOOK TOUR. WHILE THESE EVENTS GENERATED AN ADDITIONAL 22,000 IN REVENUE FOR THE HLF FOR FY 2020, THESE BOOK TALKS AND SIGNINGS ARE ALSO WONDERFUL FOR BUILDING AWARENESS OF THE HLF AND THE LIBRARY'S OVERALL MISSION FOR OUR COMMUNITY. IN FY 2020, THE HLF RAISED 60,000 TO FUND THE DIGITAL MEDIA ZONE (FOR DOWNLOADABLE BOOKS AND MUSIC), 11,000 FOR DIRECT SUPPORT FOR MATERIALS FOR ALL 11 LOCATIONS, AND AN ADDITIONAL 60,000 TO FUND HOOPLA FOR ONE YEAR. HOOPLA IS THE LIBRARY'S NEWEST PLATFORM FOR EBOOKS, AUDIOBOOKS, MUSIC, MOVIES, AND TV SHOWS. 31,151 WAS ALSO DESIGNATED FOR THE PURCHASE OF A NEW TRANSIT VAN FOR THE LIRARY SYSTEM. WITH THE ONSET OF THE GLOBAL PANDEMIC, FY 2020 PROVED TO BE AN UNUSUAL AND CHALLENGING YEAR FOR FUNDRAISING. THE HLF WAS UNABLE TO HOST ITS USUAL FALL GALA AND, INSTEAD, SHIFTED TO AN ONLINE AND MAIL-ONLY CAMPAIGN ASKING FOR SUPPORT FROM LOCAL DONORS. THOSE SUPPORTERS DELIVERED AND OUR "STAY HOME VIVE" CAMPAIGN RESULTED IN SOME OF THE GREATEST PROFITS THE HLF HAS SEEN IN DECADES. A TERRIFIC RESPONSE TO THE HLF'S END OF THE YEAR APPEAL, ALSO RESULTED IN A SOLID YEAR OF PROFITS DESPITE COVID-19 CHALLENGES. |
| FORM 990, PAGE 2, PART III, LINE 4A | THE HUNTSVILLE LIBRARY FOUNDATION RAISES FUNDING TO SUPPORT THE BOOKS AND MEDIA COLLECTIONS OF EACH OF THE 11 HUNTSVILLE-MADISON COUNTY PUBLIC LIBRARY LOCATIONS. WE ALSO PROVIDE THE BULK OF THE FUNDS NEEDED TO PROVIDE E-BOOKS, AUDIOBOOKS, AND MUSIC STREAMING FOR OUR ONLINE USERS. IN ADDITION, WE PROVIDE AN ANNUAL GRANT OPPORTUNITY FOR LOCATIONS AND DEPARTMENTS ACROSS THE SYSTEM TO INSTITUTE NEW ACTIVITIES OR PROGRAMS THAT ARE COMMUNITY SPECIFIC. WE RAISE THE FUNDING THROUGH AN ANNUAL EVENT WELL KNOWN IN THE COMMUNITY - VIVE LE LIVRE, WHICH IS A DINNER AND BOOK TALK BY AN OUTSTANDING AND WELL-KNOWN AUTHOR. WE ALSO HOST OTHER FREQUENT EVENTS THROUGH COMMUNITY CONVERSATIONS THAT MAKE OUR EXISTENCE MORE WIDELY KNOWN AND PROVIDE ADDITIONAL CULTURAL EXPOSURE FOR OUR COMMUNITY. ANOTHER ROLE FOR THE FOUNDATION IS THAT OF ADVOCACY. WE PROVIDE INFORMATION TO OUR COMMUNITY AT LARGE AND OUR GOVERNMENTAL LEADERS ARE FULLY AWARE OF THE FISCAL NEEDS OF THE LIBRARY'S OPERATIONS. WE ALSO SEEK DIRECT FUNDING FROM THEM. WITH FY 2020 BEING OUR 34TH YEAR OF EXISTENCE, WE HAVE A SENSE OF PRIDE AND PURPOSE IN OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH THE LIBRARY. |
| FORM 990, PAGE 6, PART VI, LINE 11B | A COPY OF THE FORM 990 WAS EMAILED TO EACH BOARD MEMBER TO BE REVIEWED AND APPROVED. FULL BOARD APPROVAL WAS REACHED ON MARCH 16, 2021. |
| FORM 990, PAGE 6, PART VI, LINE 12C | THE FOUNDATION BOARD HOLDS AN ORIENTATION SESSION FOR NEW MEMBERS EACH YEAR IN ADVANCE OF OUR JANUARY BOARD MEETING. THIS YEAR THE ORIENTATION SESSION WAS HELD ON JANUARY 5TH AND INCLUDED TWO NEW MEMBERS. THE CONFLICT POLICY WAS CAREFULLY EXPLAINED AND UNDERSTOOD BY THE ATTENDEES. THE FULL BOARD MET ON TUESDAY, JANUARY 12TH AND THE BOARD CHAIR AGAIN EXPLAINED THE NON-CONFLICT POLICY TO ALL ATTENDEES. CONFLICT FORMS WERE SENT OUT TO ALL BOARD MEMBERS FOR RENEWED REVIEW AND SIGNATURE AND ARE BEING COLLECTED FOR RETENTION. |
