The Content and Format of American Public Library Reports

As stated in my previous article, the content and layout of a library's annual report depends on the kind of readers it is expected to reach. The examples that follow, except where otherwise noted, are from publications aimed at the general public or a wide selection of officials, club leaders and individuals thought to be interested and influential. If you should want to see any of the reports mentioned it is likely that the institution will send you one in response to a card requesting it.
