It's that time of year again, and your thoughts have probably already turned to completing your library's 2011 Annual Report. This year's process will be different than in past years because of the retirement of Cheryl Becker.
We have updated the Annual Report web page, and will continue to do so as new information becomes available. As always, there will be helpful information from DLTCL and SCLS, and a webinar geared especially for new directors is scheduled Feb. 1, 2012.
We are compiling the information DLTCL will use to pre-populate some of the fields on your Annual Reports, but that information probably won't be in your report on Jan. 17. Be patient because it will be there very soon.
Also, the LINKcat memo and reports are not yet available, but we will let you know as soon as they are.
The report is due to the state March 1, as required by state statute, but we ask that you have your data entered into the report by February 15 so that we may review it before you submit it. Plan your schedules accordingly.
