Annual report time

June 11, 2009 Tada!  It's finally done, in the mailboxes and on the website.  If you have any interest in peeking into our little library world, visit our Springfield Township High School Annual Report 2009.



Writing the report forces me to reflect and to examine evidence. It's not always easy.  This year the numbers weren't consistently pretty.  For instance, I had to face the fact that between 8th and 9th grades we see a significant reading (or borrowing) dip. What do I/we do to those enthusiastic readers my middle school colleague sends me?  With one-to-one classrooms, visits are down.  Nevertheless, I am able to describe how learners use the library even when they are not in the library. Read about our very positive experiences too.

For those of you who are still writing, in need of models, or for those who are simply library annual report junkies, take a look at two of my favorite reports, both very different approaches:

Wonderful report, Joyce, with so many great ideas that can serve as a model for the rest of us. Unfortunately, in my copy at least, the hot links didn't come through as hotlinks. Do you know if there is a specific way to download it to get them?

Kathy's report is fantastic! But please giver her (Kathy) credit -- not me (Jane). I wish mine were done! :)
