Sharing with the public and stakeholders
To make sharing your results with your public and internal stakeholders easy, explore these created reports from the Observation Deck grant team and editable Canva templates for creating your own.
With Canva, it is easy to change the colors to match your library’s brand standard, and incorporate additional data that is relevant to you, and copy and paste photos, data visualizations, quotes, and reflections from observers in the Observation Deck reporting dashboard into your reports to share with stakeholders.
A Single Event or Short Series Report
Do you want to do a deep dive into a single, impactful event or 2-3 event series? This single page report might be for you. It includes a summary, highlight of your most observed dimension (or outcome), photos from observations with captions to highlight quotes and notes from observers.
Consider a patron facing version with simple to understand information about your Observations, links to your library collection, and follow up conversation starters!

Single Page Snapshot Report
Need a clean clear breakdown of a program or series that highlights photos and specific examples, rather than a more complex data analysis. A single page snapshot of your program with clear library branding may be more helpful!
A Patron Voice Report
Have you collected quotes from patrons, facilitators, or observers during your observations? Quotes directly from the source often highlight your observable outcomes the best. Consider using this patron voice report with space to highlight quotes from each dimension observed within your program or series - as well as a summary to build context.
A Systemwide or Extended Series Report
If you are collecting data of an extended series or project over time, this two page report may be for you. It includes spaces to highlight key data points, a project summary, the full scope of data from the Observation Deck reporter, as well as highlights into your most observed dimensions. Include great photos with captions, and your stakeholders will definitely turn the page to read more!

A Comprehensive Program Report
Are you reporting on a long term, multi faceted project or grant? A multi-page report with plenty of room to highlight different libraries, librarians, programs, or performers may be better suited. With plenty of room to consider other other relevant data - budget numbers, attendance across the scope of the project, and community feedback - this report helps capture the full picture.
