Public Library Annual Statistical Report and Application for State Aid
A copy of the 2012 survey, changes to the survey, instructions, and definitions are available as PDFs above. Online tutorial is below.
Information on the FY2012 Survey:
In order for a principal public library to receive state aid they must electronically submit a locked Public Library Annual Statistical Report and Application for State Aid by November 15 of each year. All Connecticut public libraries are encouraged to complete 
the Statistical Survey. The Survey is the source for all information provided to the federal government (IMLS) regarding public libraries in Connecticut. The Survey is also the source of information for Connecticut Public Libraries: A Statistical Profile.
Go to the Bibliostat Collect website to complete your Public Library Annual Statistical Report and Application for Payment. You will need the LOGIN and PASSWORD provided by the State Data Coordinator in July.
Important Information on the State Aid Grant: The maintenance of effort requirement for State Aid has been waived again for this year. Budget cuts will not make you ineligible for the grant, but because funding for State Aid was reduced, public libraries eligible for the grant will only receive the base grant amount of $1,200 during FY2013.
