My library year in an infographic!

After talking with librarians in my School District, I realized that I wanted to advertise our amazing library activities to my teachers, parents and students.  I have changed from my standard report that doesn't get circulated farther than our school and library principals to an infographic. I think busy teachers and parents may actually read this short snapshot of our year but definitely would not crack the covers of a formal report.  Here it is:

My library clerk and I chose the activities and events we were most proud.  After completion, I realized I missed other events- like our January reading challenge, Red Cedar Competition, and our Library Club, that also contributed to a reading climate in our school. So next year I will create a running list, that I can update bimonthly, so I can make a final selection for an infographic.
 
I used the colours from our school banner to provide a cohesive feeling.  However in future I would also select images of a similar style, or draw them to make the infographic feel like a professional publication.   This may be solved by using a program designed to make infographics.
 
However, in the short time I had to complete this project I am pleased with this result.
