> I just came across an AASL post on Facebook that talks about the importance of an annual report for your library (and remembered that I forgot to do mine yet). It included a link to this post from Jennifer Legarde, aka Library Girl.

> If you don't already do some kind of reporting for your library, please consider starting now. It doesn't have to be an elaborate newsletter or online slideshow like some of the examples - it can be as simple as an email to your administrator. By sharing your successes as a teacher, instructional partner, information specialist, and program administrator, you'll help them see your value.

> Suggestions on what to include:
> 
> List lessons you've delivered and share resulting student work.
> Document collaboration with classroom teachers, particularly if you've compiled online resources to support a research project or taught them about a new app or online tool.
> If you have a flexible schedule, track visits to the library by classes and individuals, as well as any interesting research requests you assisted with or reader's advisory victories.
> If your library is automated, run circulation reports in Destiny; if you participate in ILL, share those stats as well.
> Point out any additions to the collection you made based on curriculum or student requests.
> 
> And, of course, if you do post your reports online, please share them with the Advocacy Committee so we can tweet them out!
