DURING THIS PERIOD, TENNESSEE'S IMAGINATION LIBRARY PROGRAM NEWLY ENROLLED OVER 76,672 CHILDREN AND GRADUATED 53,238 CHILDREN, AS THEY REACHED THE MAXIMUM PARTICIPATION AGE OF FIVE (5) YEARS. ALL 95 TENNESSEE COUNTIES CONTINUED TO MAINTAIN THEIR IL COUNTY PROGRAMS THROUGH CHILD ENROLLMENT, COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT, AND LOCAL FUNDRAISING TO COVER THEIR 50% BOOK AND MAILING COST COMMITMENT OF ABOUT $1.05 PER BOOK. THE GBBF, NOW IN ITS TWELFTH CONSECUTIVE YEAR OF SERVICE, CONTINUED TO PROVIDE A GRANT EQUALING THE OTHER 50% OF THE COST OF THESE IMAGINATION LIBRARY (IL) BOOKS FOR EACH COUNTY. THE PRIMARY SOURCE OF THE GOVERNOR'S BOOKS FROM BIRTH FOUNDATION STATEWIDE PROGRAM GRANT IS DERIVED FROM ITS STATE-APPROVED ANNUAL GRANT. IT IS NOTABLE THAT OVER THE PAST FOUR YEARS, FROM SEPTEMBER, 2013 THROUGH DECEMBER, 2016, THE STATEWIDE PROGRAM HAS EXPERIENCED CONTINUED MONTHLY GROWTH EQUAL TO AN OVERALL INCREASE OF 23.0% IN THE NUMBER OF CHILDREN RECEIVING BOOKS. AS A RESULT, WE CONTINUE TO FUNDRAISE PRIVATELY FOR PASS-THROUGH FUNDS TO COUNTIES AND TO BUILD CAPACITY FOR OUR STATEWIDE PROGRAM'S CONTINUED GROWTH. BASED UPON OUR MISSION-DRIVEN FOCUS TO DIVERSIFY ENROLLMENT METHODS IN ORDER TO INCREASE STATEWIDE ENROLLMENT, COUPLED WITH OUR TARGETED EFFORTS TO ENROLL CHILDREN AS NEWBORNS, WE EXPECT THIS GROWTH PATTERN TO CONTINUE. THE GOVERNOR'S BOOKS FROM BIRTH FOUNDATION IS DEDICATED TO BUILDING A FOUNDATION FOR READING AND LEARNING THROUGH BOOKS FOR TENNESSEE'S CHILDREN. OUR LONG-TERM VISION IS TO MAKE A SIGNIFICANT IMPACT IN HELPING TENNESSEE'S CHILDREN READ AT PROFICIENT LEVELS BY 4TH GRADE. 6761698 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 9 0 1 4 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 3 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 0 1 1 0 TN X X LBMC PC 6153774600 201 FRANKLIN ROAD BRENTWOOD TN 37027 THERESA CARL PRESIDENT 37.50 X X 106708 0 25487 MARK CATE SECRETARY 1.00 X X 0 0 0 RACHEL LUNDEEN BOARD CHAIRPERSON 1.00 X X 0 0 0 DEAN HOSKINS VICE PRESIDENT 37.50 X 82230 0 19512 188938 0 44999 1 0 0 0 0 3454100 570575 4024675 TRAINING/WORKSHOP INCOME 900099 1635 1635 1635 157463 157463 1711800 1643472 68328 68328 68328 BOOKS REIMBURSEMENTS 900099 3143411 3143411 3143411 7395512 3145046 0 225791 291128 291128 250078 57081 92966 100031 103619 38543 36724 28352 3464 1288 1228 948 19704 7330 6983 5391 22075 8211 7824 6040 73953 22634 51319 11435 11435 6647 6647 50091 31116 18975 4821 4821 24926 8308 8309 8309 14557 14557 15620 9473 4475 1672 1982 1982 11994 2669 7362 1963 BOOKS AND MAILING 6282012 6282012 POSTAGE 4654 0 4654 DUES AND SUBSCRIPTIONS 2646 2646 PHONE/INTERNET EXPENSE 2460 1722 246 492 697 183 514 7198563 6761698 260038 176827 1089015 1121752 123333 98333 1886 886 11842 4372 6551 7470 5204240 5314348 151969 138830 6576994 6681619 32528 42017 15825 11869 48353 53886 X 0 0 6551 7470 6522090 6620263 6528641 6627733 6576994 6681619 X 196949 -97860 3 X X 0 1 X 1 0 X 3914520 3917859 3530733 3642658 4024675 19030445 3914520 3917859 3530733 3642658 4024675 19030445 19030445 108747 119914 157859 165304 157464 709288 2567111 2607786 2729513 2956507 3145046 14005963 33745696 0.56390 0.57300 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 11842 4372 7470 7470 DEFERRED INFLOWS RELATED TO PENSION 11869 11869 7311628 -97860 18000 -79860 7391488 4024 4024 7395512 7212536 18000 18000 7194536 4027 4027 7198563 PART XI, LINE 4B - OTHER ADJUSTMENTS: INCOME NETTED WITH EXPENSES ON FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 4,024.
