Fran Bullington

Fran Bullington presented ways to improve monthly library reports. She found her early reports at her school did not adequately convey how vibrant the library program was. She began experimenting with additions like photographs, charts, and multiple pages to share more information. Later, she transitioned reports to PowerPoint to make them easier to edit and include more colorful charts and information on slides. Bullington encouraged attendees to publish their reports online and provided examples of other libraries' reports in her bibliography.

Jazz Up Your Monthly Reports Fran Bullington March 15, 2012 South Carolina Association of School Librarians Learning Commons Presentation
Basic Beginnings In the fall of 2006 when I became the lead librarian at Boiling Springs High School, I wanted to continue the sharing of monthly reports that my predecessor had done. Looking back now at the reports I submitted, I am embarrassed! Those reports in no way, shape, or form were conveying how vibrant our library program was. So I began a quest to perfect my reports and share that with you here. Many photographs have been altered because I have not obtained permission to post those students pictures.
