Instructions for completing the annual Oregon Public Library Statistical Report.

Part 3 - Operating Revenue

OPERATING REVENUE

Report revenue used for operating expenditures as defined in each section below. Include federal, state, local, or other grants.

Funds transferred from one public library to another public library should be reported by the receiving library. 

The numbers you report for revenue may not be the same as the annual budget, and does not need to balance with expenditures. If the city or county contributes sizeable expenses on behalf of the library, but does not show those in the library budget, the library may wish to enter matching revenue and expense for such items.
