The 2025 annual report to the state is expected to open in January. 

We are awaiting official guidance on the: 

• reporting method 
• required format 
• final questions 

This page will be updated as more information becomes available. 

What can you do NOW?

• Get it on the agenda! Make sure the review and acceptance of the library’s annual report is on the Library Board’s February or March agenda.

• Refamiliarize yourself with:
  • Your copy of your Library’s report for last year.
  • Last year’s list of questions
  • Last year’s Outline of Major Changes
  • Last year’s Instructions for Completing
  • Last year’s MHLS Quick Reference Guide

While question changes are likely, historically the bulk of the questions remain the same.

You can start assembling your answers now. We’ve created a spreadsheet of last year’s report questions, where you can store your answers. We’ll update it as questions are finalized.
