What librarian-occupation donors give in federal races

Nearly 100,000 lines, a $93 mean gift

$8,907,436, 96,223 itemizations, and 1,794 donor records are the occupation-level facts. Mean contribution size is about $93. Mean dollars per donor record are about $4,965. Repeat giving is about 54 itemizations per donor record.

96,223 lines from 1,794 records is a high-repeat professional-title stack: many schedules, a low per-line mean. Headline dollars near $8.9 million arrive through volume rather than large average gifts.

The packet has no public-versus-academic split, no MLS field, and no median gift. A few large itemizations can lift the average while most lines remain small.

LIBRARIAN is not a library-staff census

The FEC record does not verify an MLS degree or a library appointment. Archivists, media specialists, and retirees can all type LIBRARIAN. Best-efforts rules do not force a controlled vocabulary.

This page cites only $8,907,436, 96,223 contributions, and 1,794 donors. TEACHER, EDUCATOR, and PROFESSOR remain other keys unless the bulk extract merged them.

Donor records and dual titles

1,794 donor records used LIBRARIAN on at least one matching itemization. Address variants split records. A person who listed LIBRARIAN on some gifts and TEACHER on others will appear in both occupation totals for those lines.

Occupation is stored per transaction. LobbyVault does not infer party from the professional title.

Industry pages group public and campus employers

Industry pages group employers. A public librarian and an academic librarian share this occupation string if they typed LIBRARIAN. Adding $8,907,436 to an industry total double-counts.

Open the LIBRARIAN occupation page for rows. Use the occupations index to place the string next to other education titles.

Citation language

A usable sentence is: occupation equals LIBRARIAN, dollars equal $8,907,436, contributions equal 96,223, donors equal 1,794, sourced from FEC Form 3/3X itemizations indexed on LobbyVault.

Unitemized receipts never carry an occupation code. Quote the contribution count with the dollars so the $93 mean is visible next to the headline total.

Refunds and memo entries follow FEC presentation in the underlying schedules; this guide does not invent a fourth occupation-level fact beyond $8,907,436, 96,223 contributions, and 1,794 donors. Neighboring education titles stay on their own pages unless the extract merged them into LIBRARIAN.

Reading LIBRARIAN as a high-volume professional key

LIBRARIAN in this extract is $8,907,436 on 96,223 itemizations from 1,794 donor records, or $8.9 million in compact millions. Those dollars are itemized activity on FEC Form 3 and Form 3X schedules indexed on LobbyVault from FEC.gov bulk data. Unitemized receipts never carry an occupation code, so they never enter the total. Refunds and memo entries follow FEC presentation in the underlying schedules. People who type teacher, educator, or archivist may sit on other occupation pages. Only the exact LIBRARIAN key is in $8,907,436.

Arithmetic means on this key are about $93 per contribution and about $4,965 per donor record, with roughly 54 itemizations per donor record. Means are not medians. The packet has no gift-size distribution and no party split. Combining LIBRARIAN with neighboring education strings without naming each source total changes the unit from one FEC string to a homemade cluster. 1,794 donor records on 96,223 lines is a high-volume professional pool, not an MLS census.

Industry pages group employer-side categories and should not be added to $8,907,436. A person who listed LIBRARIAN on some gifts and a neighboring title on others will appear in both occupation totals for the respective lines. A public-record citation that stays inside the packet is: occupation equals LIBRARIAN, dollars equal $8,907,436, contributions equal 96,223, donors equal 1,794. Candidate and committee pages hold the recipient side.

Researchers who need cycle cuts, employer text, or recipient lists should leave this guide and open the live LIBRARIAN occupation hub. This file restates harvested packet facts only. Compact millions ($8.9 million) are the same headline amount as $8,907,436, rounded to one decimal place. Keep 96,223 contributions and 1,794 donor records in any sentence that quotes the dollars, so readers can see that headline dollars arrive through volume, not a large per-gift mean. Exact-string matching is the method. Anything else is a different query. The occupation field is donor-supplied free text, not an MLS roster. A citation that stays inside the packet names LIBRARIAN, $8,907,436, 96,223, and 1,794 together.
