As many libraries look ahead to another school and fiscal year full of opportunities, Demco, an Amigos vendor partner, has shared a helpful article all about Annual Planning for School Librarians. Planning early and intentionally can make a huge difference in how smoothly a library’s year unfolds. In their article, Demco emphasizes starting annual planning well before the busy fall season hits, ideally in the early months of the calendar year, so you can reflect on the past year’s successes and challenges, and be ready to set meaningful goals before the next school year begins. Having a written roadmap helps librarians stay focused, articulate your value to administrators, and measure progress over time.
In addition to advice on annual planning and other many other relevant topics, Demco offers a variety of library resources, furnishings and supplies, which Amigos members receive at a discount.
