Pt VI, Line 11b	The Organization reviews Form 990 before it is signed and filed.
Pt VI, Line 12c	Determination of and resolution as to whether there are any conflicts or the potential for conflicts are raised at each meeting. The minutes of the Board meetings are required to contain the names of the persons who disclosed or otherwise were found to have potential or actual conflicts of interest.
Pt VI, Line 19	The Organization makes its governing documents and conflict of interest policy available to the public upon request for the same period as the Form 990 must be made available under Section 6104.
Other	Pt III, Line 4a: $7,159.77 This grant, made possible by the Charles E. Hoffman Fund and the J. Edward and Jennie B. Hoffman Fund, supported important strategic goals of the Library, by helping DML provide a world-class collection. The Library relies on this annual payment to purchase reference material and books on natural history and geography. $500.00 This grant, made possible by Berea College and the Rural Library Fellowship, supported an important strategic goal of the Library- ensuring Library staff is equipped to maximize the Library's potential. This funding specifically supported the Branch Manager at the New Lebanon Branch Library. The Rural Library Fellowship program recognized that rural libraries are hubs within their communities. Library Fellows are from rural communities that are interested in increasing 3rd-grade reading outcomes. The fellowship offers: Professional development to support increasing reading outcomes, connection with a peer learning community, a stipend to offset time, materials or other costs associated with participation, and full cost scholarship for travel expenses to attend any in-person leadership development opportunities. $1,000.00 This grant, made possible by the Vandalia-Butler Foundation, supported the Library's strategic goal of leveraging partnerships focused on reaching community-wide goals by enabling the City of Vandalia, through their Parks and Recreation Department, to enhance their park areas with the installation of Free Little Libraries, a model similar to Dayton Metro Library's "Take It and Read" program in many of our branch communities. The Vandalia Branch Manager was part of a leadership team working to bring this vision to life, and also offered a diverse collection of books from the library collection to stock the Free Little Libraries. $2,500.00 This grant, made possible by the Jean Barger Rice Trust, supported the enhancement of the Library's fine and performing arts collection in a special way, allowing the Library to expand a special collaboration with Kettering's Rosewood Arts Center, where the Wilmington-Stroop Branch staff worked to create a "book nook" with varied art titles. This project provided arts lovers with valuable resources while also expanding the reach of the Library, keeping the Library's arts collection updated and relevant. $15,000.00 This grant, made possible with funding from the Foundation's 2021 year-end appeal, supported at-home learning and STEM education through "Take and Make Kits" that provide home-based science programs, educational enrichment, arts engagement, virtual programming, expanded technology, and career awareness. Take & Make Kits come in specially designed boxes and contain all the instructions and supplies needed for fun, educational activities that families can do at home. Children work independently or with their family to explore these themes, learn something new, and fall in love with science. With specially created curriculums for families (young children who need assistance), students in grades 1-6 (minimal assistance needed), and teens (independent programs) - kids are inspired to learn about new topics and connect their learning to the world around them.
Other	Pt III, Line 4a: $10,000.00 This grant, made possible by Shook Construction, funded important upgrades included in Shook Construction Company Conference Room at the new West Branch Library. The newly-opened West Branch is a community hub, with programs and services to surprise and delight the community. In the short time the new West Branch has been open, the Shook Construction Company Conference Room has hosted many community partners for meetings and events - both in person and via enhanced technology for virtual meetings. $33,250.00 This grant, made possible by the Kettering Family Philanthropies, enhanced the SHINE! theme at the West Branch Children's Portal. Empowered by the intention of this gift, the Library transformed the children's area at the new West Branch Library into a welcoming destination for children to grow, develop and shine. "Shine" is the overall design theme as we provide the youth of West Dayton with a bright and inspiring location for after-school and out-of-school learning. Rather than a traditional library room filled with only books, tables and computers, we have added enhancements that create an educational wonderland to foster creativity and learning. Elements that helped to fully activate the children's area included: a huge light wall with colored pegs, moveable platforms, AWE stations, virtual reality headsets, and more. The space has been transformed into an engaging and exciting destination where children will explore their own potential and develop a pride in themselves and their community. $10,000.00 This grant, created in response to a collaboration between the Events and Operations Committee of the Dayton Metro Library Foundation and the Employee Engagement Committee at the Library, supported the creativity and commitment of the Library staff by offering "quick grants" to fund passion projects designed and implemented by the Library staff to enhance and improve the Library experience.
Other	Pt III, Line 4a: $4,800.00 This grant, made possible by the Community Foundation for Kettering, supported the creation of a "mobile laptop lab" at the Wilmington-Stroop Branch Library, allowing the Library to purchase 12 laptops, travel cases (as needed for outreach events) and a charging station. These laptops allow librarians to provide specialty programming in-branch or in the Kettering community. Because these laptops are available, dedicated library or partner-led programs can be offered without disadvantaging patrons who rely on their branch for basic internet access (desktops/publicly available computers). The Library has leveraged the accessibility of the mobile laptop lab to offer programs such as the Teen Writers' Workshop. Teens visit the Community Room and log into these laptops to experience a community of creativity, design, and writing, rather than claiming Tech Lab space that might be needed by other patrons (or may feel too structured for imaginative teens). While teens and technology are a popular combination, these laptops are valuable for adult programs and special partnerships, too, such as use of the laptops for a visiting artist experience. As the library continues to adapt, grow, and respond, this type of mobile technology is a key asset to better activating shared spaces. $20,000.00 This grant allowed the Library to further grow the popular "Take and Make Kits," providing at-home learning and STEM education. To meet growing community demand, the Library increased production to provide this engaging learning resource to community partners, such as daycares and YWCA Centers, in addition to offering them at each Library Branch.
Other	Pt III, Line 4a: $7,338.36 This grant, made possible by the Charles E. Hoffman Fund and the J. Edward and Jennie B. Hoffman Fund, supported important strategic goals of the Library by helping DML provide a world-class collection. The Library relies on this annual payment to purchase reference material and books on natural history and geography. $2,500.00 This grant, made possible by the National Park Service, supported programming and entertainment at the West Branch opening. These funds allowed the Library to go above and beyond in creating a positive, interactive learning experience during the grand opening with music and engaging drone flights and workshops. $2,500.00 This grant, made possible by the C.J. Francis III Foundation, allowed the Library to purchase a one-year license of the My Music Ed social and emotional learning app. This interactive platform was one of the innovative efforts launched by the Library's Trotwood Library Branch staff to address student need in the midst of COVID. $50,000.00 This grant, made possible by the Jack W. and Sally D. Eichelberger Foundation, allowed the Library to create an "Opportunity Space" at the new West Branch Library where valued community groups are invited to co-locate for an extended residency period, sharing essential information and hosting activities that inform, inspire, empower and engage. The Library conducted extensive research to determine what assets were needed in the space and added soundproofing, electric/plumbing upgrades, refrigeration, and build-ins that create a flexible space to best serve the neighborhood. Dayton Co-Op/West Dayton MakerSpace has hosted workshops on micro entrepreneurship/job skills and future programming will continue developing skills in textiles, coding, 3D printing, robotics, and crafting. The Library recognizes that the needs of the community will change over time, and this flexible space can empower partners to bring their quality programming to West Dayton residents within the trusted destination of their Library. $2,500.00 This grant, made possible by Berea College and the Rural Library Fellowship, supported an important strategic goal of the Library- ensuring Library staff is equipped to maximize the Library's potential. This funding specifically supported the Branch Manager at the New Lebanon Branch Library. The Rural Library Fellowship program recognized that rural libraries are hubs within their communities. Library Fellows are from rural communities that are interested in increasing 3rd-grade reading outcomes. The fellowship offers: Professional development to support increasing reading outcomes, connection with a peer learning community, a stipend to offset time, materials or other costs associated with participation, and full cost scholarship for travel expenses to attend any in-person leadership development opportunities. $25,000.00 This grant, made possible by CenterPoint Energy, supported the Library's Summer Challenge. Summer Challenge is a core program of the Library, and one of the most significant youth education services provided to the community. Each summer, librarians at 17 locations across the county, plus outreach services, coordinate a summer full of intentional programming to help children remain academically involved and socially engaged. The program kicks off as the school year ends; children and families register online or with a paper tracker. Throughout the summer, they log their progress, tracking each 15 minutes read and every educational program attended. The longer children read, the further along the path they move, and they accrue exciting prizes for participation and reading success. The Summer Challenge centers literacy with a focus on summer reading, but the Library has added points and prizes for children who attend educational programs or engage with their community through volunteerism. Librarians thoughtfully plan and conduct reading clubs and host hands on activities to support learning and imagination. Based on the national theme "Oceans of Possibilities," the Summer Challenge is a no-cost, research-based program to combat summer slide and ensure area children are prepared to learn when they return to school in the fall. Funds support incentive prizes (books, school supplies, etc.) for children and teens who reach their learning goals, materials for educational programming at the branches, and the licensing of the software used for registration and data.
