Greetings,

I'd like to remind everyone  that the 2015 Public Library Annual Reporting period is open.  The deadline to submit your Public Library Annual Report is April 1, 2016.

You should have received a letter back in December which contains all the information you need to get started, including your username and password and an instruction sheet that walks you through the login process. All usernames and passwords remain the same as last year.

2015 Instructions http://www.maine.gov/msl/libs/statistics/annual/index.shtml

New this year is the Data/Evaluation/Annual Report page on the Maine State Library website http://www.maine.gov/msl/libs/data/index.html .  Here you will find links to tools and surveys, data sources, value calculators and training opportunities.

Please keep in mind it is the sole responsibility of each library to ensure that the annual report has been accurately and completely submitted by the April 1st deadline. This also applies to any follow-up information that is requested. Prompt replies to requests for follow-up information is very much appreciated. Visit http://www.maine.gov/msl/about/commission/rule.htm  for information on the MLC Rules Regarding Responsibilities of Public Libraries.

Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have questions or need help interpreting, reporting or submitting your data. I am more than happy to assist you in any way I can.

The Maine State Library sincerely appreciate the work and dedication it takes to collect and report accurate data.

Thank you,
Jenny
