books, periodicals, audio visual, etc.) are not recognized as assets in the statements of financial position. Purchases of collection items are expensed and recorded as a decrease in net assets without donor restrictions in the year in which the items are acquired (of which approximately $5.6 million in 2023 and $5.2 million in 2022). Guidance followed for the treatment of expensing collections when purchased is subtopic 958.360 of the Accounting Standards Codification. Proceeds from the sale of circulating collection items would be used to acquire other collection items. Special Collections The Library's special collections were primarily acquired through contributions since the Library's inception. Special collections is defined as any current or future special/permanent/historical collection item, including but not limited to rare books, manuscripts, archival holdings, and photographs housed in the Oliver Room or other secure spaces. Special collection items are not recognized as an asset on the statements of financial position. Purchases of new special collection items (none in 2023 and 2022) would be recorded as a decrease in net assets without donor restrictions in the year the items were acquired, or as a decrease to net assets with donor restrictions if the assets used to purchase collections were restricted by donors. All special collections are subject to appropriate stewardship measures (catalogued, preserved, secured, and cared for as appropriate, finding aids created, and activities verifying their existence and assessing their condition). The Library's policy is that proceeds from the sale of special collection items, or insurance recoveries on the loss of special collection items would be used to purchase suitable new special collection items or used for direct care of the special collection. Direct care for the Library's special collections is defined as expenses to enhance the life, usefulness and quality of the item, that are based on an institutional plan for the special collection. The policy is based upon the Financial Accounting Standards Board's (FASB) Accounting Standards Updates (ASU) 2019-03, the American Alliance of Museum (AAM's) ethics, guidelines, and recommendation for direct care as well as legal guidance. Proceeds from the sale of collections or insurance recoveries (of which there was $0 in 2023 and 2022) would be reflected as revenue resulting in an increase in net assets with donor restrictions. Part III, Line 4: Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh makes available to the public a collection of approximately 3.1 million books, periodicals, audiovisual items and other materials from the Main Library, the Library of Accessible Media for Pennsylvanians, Allegheny County Law Library and 21 neighborhood locations. Most items may be borrowed by library cardholders for use at home, work, or school. Some unique, expensive, or frequently consulted materials are for use in the library only. This collection is the foundation for the Library's mission, which is to "engage our community in Literacy and Learning and as such serves as the basis for the Library's tax exempt purpose. Part V, Line 4: Distributions from the endowment fund are for the purchase of materials (books), programming and unrestricted purposes in accordance with the donor's wishes.

The audited financial statements include a change in net assets of the consolidated supporting organization totaling -$103,234 (total consolidated supporting organization revenues and gains of $1,296,766 less total consolidated supporting organization expenses of $1,400,000) and a total ending net asset balance of the consolidated supporting organization of $10,975,730. Schedule M: This schedule does not allow the value of in-kind advertising to be included in the list of non-cash contributions because it is a donated service. Since this value is significant to the Library, we are listing it here at $115,980.
