  Annual Report Deadline Extended

  October 31st, 2012 | Permalink | Comment?

  The State Library is extending the deadline for the Annual Report and Application for State Aid to November 21 at 4 P.M.  We hope the extra week will be helpful for those whose libraries have been most affected by Hurricane Sandy.  And let’s hope Mother Nature gives out more treats and less tricks for Halloween next year.

  Annual Report Reminder for Public Libraries

  October 15th, 2012 | Permalink | Comment?

  This is a reminder to all public libraries that the deadline for submitting your Annual Report and Application for State Aid is one month away.  Access information to the Bibliostat survey tool was emailed last July to all public library directors.  Let me know if you need this resent, or if the information should be sent to another person at your library.

  The Annual Report is critical for state and national data gathering on public libraries.  For more information, a list of changes, an instruction sheet, and a 15-minute online tutorial, go to Annual Report and Application for State Aid

  Per regulations, the DEADLINE for submission is 4 P.M. on November 15, 2012.   Contact Tom Newman with questions.

  For those library managers who are always looking for more ways to count what your library does, the updated Checklist of Public Library Statistics is for you.  This listing attempts to identify all the various statistics libraries can compile to help with evaluation and advocacy.  How your library’s numbers trend over time can tell you a lot about how your library is serving your community.

  Annual Report Time

  September 6th, 2012 | Permalink | Comment?

  It is time again for all public libraries in Connecticut to fill out the Annual Report and Application for State Aid.  These reports provide critical information for federal and state-wide library statistics as well as provide the data for the Statistical Profile of CT Public Libraries and Automatic Chart-Makers, both used for library evaluation and advocacy.  The report deadline is November 15, but public libraries are encouraged to start filling out the survey as soon as they can.  See the Report web page for instructions, a copy of the survey, a list of changes from last year, and a short how-to tutorial.
