Using Storytelling to Create a Powerful Annual Report
Friday, July 18, 2025
11:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.
The significance of library work cannot be reduced to charts and graphs. Yet, that's what most of us do when we create an annual report. Numbers are vital, but including narrative is just as valuable. In this session, you'll learn techniques to spark conversations that can provide you with the material you need to create an impactful annual report.
This free event is open to all Illinois libraries (ILA members and non-members). ILA personal members can access the recording of this event 1-3 days after the live event.
