LIB-7 / LIB-8 DUG AT EXAMINATION STRENGTH
The library is governed the Indiana small-library way — an appointed board meeting monthly in the open — and its money, examined to the dollar by the state, ran at a scale of about a hundred and fifty thousand dollars a year. The board meets the second Tuesday of the month at 6:30 p.m. (State Library directory, 2026); its president through the 2018–2022 examination was Karyn Hesters, with treasurers Steven Mockler (2018), Annette Haining (2019 to mid-2021), and Carol Kuzmicz (from July 2021). The State Board of Accounts' examination for 2005–2006 gives the finances their fullest public form: total receipts of $152,112 in 2005 and $137,199 in 2006; the general fund taking in $115,929 against $109,879 disbursed in 2005; cash and investment balances growing from $50,006 to $67,562 across the two year-ends. The same examination carries the finding that keeps the institution human in the record: "Library Annual Report Not Filed" — in those years the little library did not get its annual report to the state, and the examiners wrote it down. By 2022 the state's statistics price the directorship at a $41,500 salary for a class LC 4 library serving 2,859 people. The holdings-and-circulation figures the checklist asks for stand in the Indiana State Library's annual statistics series at the library's own row; the series was reached and its director-and-population figures drawn, but the collection counts were not extracted at line strength in this section, and they stand as the residue with the statistics series named as the settler.
