I saw a great question on a Facebook school library group. This person was wanting a template for an infographic similar to this one from the Framingham Public Library<\/a>. I decided to refresh my memory on a few design tools so I recreated it in Canva, Genially, Adobe Express, Google Slides, PowerPoint, and Adobe Illustrator.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

I listed some pros and cons for each tool and shared a template link so you can use it as you’d like. You can find those templates here<\/a>, plus a fun prompt from ChatGPT on what items should be a school library infographic. Ashley Cooksey<\/a> also shared a great post from Jennifer LaGarde<\/a> on this crucial advocacy topic, “It’s Annual Report Season! Here Are Some Tips To Help You Effectively Tell Your Story.”<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Next, I was thinking… “It would be awesome if there was a way to have a version of this that just automatically updates.” Looker Studio from Google is an option for this kind of data visualization. So I recreated the infographic in Looker Studio. Below is an example of an embed of that Looker Studio report. It pulls the numbers from a Google Sheet, which is updated through a simple Google Form. This form could be updated daily, weekly, monthly, or whenever. Looker Studio does all the work of keeping the totals going!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
