Kachel, in her article "The Annual Report as an Advocacy Tool" (School Library Monthly 28 no.8, May 2012), reminds us that "a well-crafted annual report can be an effective advocacy tool not just for school administrators, but also as a vehicle to showcase the unique contributions of the school library program to parents, community members, teachers, and students."
