DESCRIPTION
Review parts of school library annual reports that show best traits for a high quality annual report
Citation preview
Solon Community School District
Librarian: Kathy Kaldenberg
Solon Community School
District’s annual report
encompasses grades K-12. I
like that on the front page
you immediately see
“Highlights” for the school
year. The annual report
focuses on the positive
experiences of the students
and the library.
I am really impressed with the look of
ISSUU.com. It is neatly organized, with great
pictures, charts, and just enough information
without it getting wordy. After looking at
Animoto and ISSUU, as well as some in a
presentation format, I found a routine report
to be quite boring.
Myrtle Grove Middle School Librarian: Jennifer LaGarde
Her annual report is very
colorful with lots of data,
pictures, and eye catching
graphics. I like how she took
the data and then explained the
data under “What’s The
Bottom Line?” She talked
about concerns and then
proposed a fix for the following
year.
Creating a “To Do!” list makes it quite
clear that the librarian is already
planning for the next school year. This
shows the principal how the SLMS works
for the school, teachers and students.
It is always important to
show off the “FUN STUFF”
that occurs in the library.
She display this in a
interesting and eye catching
way. The “FUN STUFF”
that happened in the library,
definitely showcase “FUN
IDEAS”.
“What’s Next” is not the same
as “TO DO”. This is her
overview of what is next for the
library and still making the
point that the library is essential
to the success of the school and
the students.

I had to highlight this because it really is why you are doing the annual report (other than for the state). These librarians have worked hard to make their programs visible and viable to not only the schools, but to the community and beyond.
Macalester College – DeWitt Wallace Library
Librarian: Terri Fishel & Jacki Betsworth

I like this because it is concise and neat.
At the bottom of the page, you can click
on the link to the actual report.
I like that a college is “Fostering Community”
beyond resource needs. I guess I don’t
remember this part when I was in college. Of
course that was many years ago and was
probably not a focus. This is something that I
hadn’t thought of at the college level, but why
shouldn’t it be important to reach out to their
college community, as well.
Dorman High School Librarians: Cathy Nelson & Melanie Dillard
I like this concept, but I would rather see it broke up into fiction and nonfiction. You
could place graphic novels in either category. I think that the above view is important,
but maybe showing top circulating fiction and nonfiction would be better. Nonfiction
has and is becoming a major role in the Common Core, and splitting nonfiction from
fiction will give more accurate data for the SLMS.
Durant Road Middle School Libarians: Kristin Ziller & Paula Barnes
“become aware of which tool is appropriate for specific end goals.”
I like that they are teaching
students about Web 2.0 and most
important that they some tools
are best when used for specific
end results. I also like the
hyperlink of the different Web
2.0 tools.
Collecting data is always
a great way to show
growth or need for
change. This is a great
way to practice
transparency. Our school
district is hitting data
collection very hard and
this would be a great way
for the library to validate
their SLMP. “Capturing and analyzing data drives media programming decisions.”
