Entities that are classified under this section of the code are taxed on unrelated business income as defined by IRS regulations. The System had no unrelated business income for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Accordingly, no provision for income taxes is made in the financial statements.The System follows the provisions of Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes under the Income Taxes Topic of the Codification. This requires the evaluation of tax positions, which includes maintaining its tax-exempt status and the taxability of any unrelated business income and does not allow recognition of tax positions which do not meet a more-likely-than-not threshold of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Management does not believe that it has taken any tax positions that would not meet this threshold. The Systems information returns are subject to possible federal examination, generally for three years after they are filed. true Cady Library PO Box 70 Nichols NY 13812 156001066 10742 0 LLSA, SPECIAL PURPOSE Cortland Free Library 32 Church Street Cortland NY 13045 150569362 25322 0 LLSA, SPECIAL PURPOSE, BULLET Groton Public Library 112 East Cortland Street Groton NY 13073 150618030 23340 0 LLSA, SPECIAL PURPOSE, MINI GRANT Hazard Library Association PO Box 3 Poplar Ridge NY 13139 160968073 13493 0 LLSA, SPECIAL PURPOSE, BULLET Lamont Memorial Free Library 5 Main Street McGraw NY 13101 150564077 9623 0 LLSA, SPECIAL PURPOSE, MINI GRANT Lansing Community Library 27 Auburn Road Lansing NY 14882 800179278 8532 0 LLSA, SPECIAL PURPOSE, BULLET Newfield Public Library PO Box 154 Newfield NY 14867 150572885 7993 0 LLSA, SPECIAL PURPOSE, BULLET Peck Memorial Library Assoc PO Box 325 Marathon NY 13803 150581087 6566 0 LLSA, SPECIAL PURPOSE, MINI GRANT Phillips Free Library PO Box 7 Homer NY 13077 150532226 8594 0 LLSA, SPECIAL PURPOSE, MINI GRANT Seneca Falls Library 47 Cayuga Street Seneca Falls NY 13148 166075457 14993 0 LLSA, SPECIAL PURPOSE, BULLET Seymour Public Library Dist 176-178 Genesee Street Auburn NY 13021 161460484 14776 0 LLSA, SPECIAL PURPOSE, MINI GRANT Southworth Library Assoc PO Box 45 Dryden NY 13053 150539132 10993 0 LLSA, SPECIAL PURPOSE, MINI GRANT, Tompkins County Public Librar 101 East Green Street Ithaca NY 14850 161098211 558094 0 LLSA, SPECIAL PURPOSE, CDLA, BULLET Ulysses Phiomathic Library PO Box 655 Trumansburg NY 14886 223260334 20514 0 LLSA, SPECIAL PURPOSE, BULLET Waterloo Library & Historical 31 E William Street Waterloo NY 13165 150532265 5579 0 LLSA, SPECIAL PURPOSE, MINI GRANT Waverly Free Library 18 Elizabeth Street Wavery NY 14892 150592911 5493 0 LLSA, SPECIAL PURPOSE, MINI GRANT 16 0 Grantmaker's Description of How Grants are Used LOCAL LIBRARY SERVICE AID (LLSA), CENTRAL LIBRARY DEVELOPMENT AID (CLDA) AND OUTREACH MINI-GRANTS ARE PASS-THROUGH AID FROM NEW YORK STATE.
