There are still 44 Maine public libraries that have not submitted their
annual reports that were due April 1st.  I can't compile my data for
statistics and I cannot complete the report I have to send to the federal
government until these reports are submitted (either in paper format or
electronically).  I have sent melibs messages, direct email messages and
postcards to remind people that the report is due.  I have also tried to
stress how valuable these reports are on the national, state and local
levels, but for some reason, I am not reaching all of you or I'm sure your
reports would be in by now.

Perhaps some library directors out there who find the annual reports an
invaluable resource could offer some encouragement and give examples of how
they have used the statistics from these reports??

I will be posting a list next week of those libraries that have not
submitted a report.

Thank you to all those library directors and/or library staff who have
gotten their reports in.  I understand how valuable your time is and how
difficult it is sometimes to complete one more task.  I'm sure no one looks
at this 7-page report and jumps for joy, but please know that any
information you provide is extremely helpful.  Your support and cooperation
is greatly appreciated by myself and your library peers.  If you have any
questions or need any assistance, please don't hesitate to contact me.
