I think every librarian should do a monthly report. Even if you have loads of classes, maybe no help, and are crunched for time, make time to at least do a brief report. I am suggesting that a basic simple report to administration leads to greater understanding of what librarians do.
Why? First of all, doing a monthly report demonstrates that you do more than just classes or just book check out. Many Administrators and staff have no idea of what is involved in running a library. If you give even the basic details you can show what else you are doing to maintain the library
It is our job as librarians to educate our Administrators and staff of what librarians can do and should be doing!
If you do a monthly report, what do to include? Leave a comment below - join the conversation! When you follow me or leave a comment you will be entered to receive a copy of "The Organized Librarian"- Drawing to be held at the end of the month/1
