Operating strictly under non-profit status (Association déclarée loi 1901), our financial management is governed by the principles of public service, cost efficiency, and total reinvestment into community programs.
"All membership dues, public grants, and civic subsidies are fully reinvested into the association's public interest missions and community programs."
The Association Médiathèque Communale de Grane does not engage in commercial retail, paid product sales, advertising sponsorships, or monetized paywalls. Reading room admission, reference desk consultations, and public computer terminal usage are offered to every human being completely free of economic charge.
Where voluntary annual associative memberships exist (a nominal 10€ per household for borrowing physical media outside the library), these funds are pooled directly into book acquisition budgets, allowing our acquisitions committee to purchase fresh literary releases, youth graphic novels, and scientific periodicals requested by local patrons.
Our financial accounts are maintained according to the standard French non-profit chart of accounts (Plan Comptable Associatif). Every transaction, invoice, bank transfer, and grant receipt is recorded with double-entry precision and matched with physical supporting vouchers.
Prior to our Annual General Assembly, an independent two-member Supervisory Audit Commission (Commission de Contrôle des Comptes), composed of non-board association members, conducts an unannounced, exhaustive audit of our bank statements and receipt binders. Their independent evaluation report is presented publicly to all members and submitted to municipal authorities.
