FY2023 Annual Report to the State: Blank Report, Instructions, Outline of Major Changes, etc.

Before you get started, review the outline of major changes here.

View the full list of instructions for the FY2023 Annual Report here. 

BOARD APPROVAL IS REQUIRED! (See Section 12 - Assurance)
Plan ahead to have your report done and reviewed by your library board, typically at your February meeting (before reports are due to STLS on 3/1). Your board’s date of approval will be noted in question 12.41 (Assurance).
It’s ok if your board officially approves your report after it’s been submitted to STLS. Just enter the date that the board will meet to review the report. Please contact Erika if you have any changes after you submit.

Remember to: SAVE. SAVE. SAVE.

AVOID DATA LOSS:

• To avoid loss of data, only one person at a time should be logged into a member library report.
  • Multiple people logged into the same report will cause data to be lost.
• Libraries should not have reports from two different years open at the same time.
• SAVE often.

EDIT CHECKS:
Provide notes for any figures that have a large increase or decrease from the previous year.
If the note is for an edit check, make sure that the note answers the question being asked by the edit check.
Please *do not* write "This number is correct." Your note must explain why the number has changed.
