Annual Report Login

Wisconsin Public Library and System Annual Report Electronic Reporting Portal Library Performance Assessment Solution (LibPAS) is open to retrieve reports, infographics, and brochures. Information about completing the Wisconsin Public Library Annual Report was sent to all Wisconsin Public Library directors from WI@countingopinions.com.

  • What's New for the 2022 Annual Report.
  • Instructions for the Annual Report. Includes current descriptions of annual report data elements. New items and resources are highlighted in the Annual Report instructions.  Update posted 1/9/2023 to correct Section III 7a instructions.
  • Annual Report Worksheet. This worksheet can be used to compile information before entering annual report data into LibPAS. Note: The worksheet is provided for convenience and does not replace submission of the online or PDF report.
  • Programming and Activity Count Tracker . This workbook can be used to track programs and activities throughout the year and prepare program and activities counts and attendance for Sections III and XIII of the Annual Report. 
  • System Effectiveness Form. The form should be completed and submitted in tandem with the annual report or, if the library board wishes to submit it separately, the board's statement on system effectiveness may be indicated on this completed, approved, signed form that is submitted separately from the online public library annual report. If the library board should choose that course of action, please choose "Not indicating online" on the electronic form, then send the signed, scanned statement as a PDF to LibraryReport@dpi.wi.gov.
    • Note: As a public document, the separate paper statement will be provided upon request to your public library system or others, regardless of whether it is submitted separately.
    • System effectiveness forms are due by the same date as the annual report—March 1 (February 29 in a leap year).
  • Using LibPAS. Instructions for using the LibPAS online reporting system to complete data entry forms, including organization, navigation, data entry, report submittal. For guidelines on the information to be entered on the form, see "Instructions for the Annual Report" above.

State statutes require that library and system boards file their annual reports by March 1 (February 29 in a leap year)—within 60 days after the conclusion of the fiscal year of the municipality or county in which the public library is located [Wis. Stat. s. 43.58(6)(a)].
