Toolkit: Annual Report Guide
Public Libraries in Alberta are required by Alberta legislation (Libraries Act. Alberta Regulation 141/98. Libraries Regulation. Part 2 Community Boards, Section 11) to complete an annual report.
“Report to Minister
11 A community board shall annually complete and file with the Minister a report in a form and containing the information required by the Minister.”
The Public Library Services Section of Alberta Municipal Affairs and Housing uses the information from the annual Reports to compile a provincial directory of public libraries, to produce Public Library Statistics annually, to produce mailing lists and to determine compliance with provincial library legislation and regulations. The deadline for completion of the Annual Report has yet to be set.
Yellowhead Regional Library provides an annual drop-in workshop in January to assist our member libraries to complete the Annual Report Form.
