• A. Intimation to managing committee
• B. Library publicity
• C. Evaluation of financial position
• D. Planning for future job requirements

Hint:

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Concept: An annual report of a library is an official document that presents the activities, progress, services, financial position, achievements and future requirements of the library during a year.

Step 1: Understanding the purpose of annual report.
The annual report informs the management or governing body about the functioning of the library. \[ \text{Annual Report} \Rightarrow \text{Official record of yearly performance} \]

Step 2: Checking valid objectives.
Intimation to the managing committee is a valid objective because the committee needs information about library performance.
Evaluation of financial position is also important because budget, expenditure and grants are reported.
Planning for future job requirements is also related to annual reporting because staff and service needs may be projected.

Step 3: Identifying the non-objective.
Library publicity may be a secondary benefit, but it is not a main objective of an annual report. Annual report is mainly administrative, evaluative and planning-oriented. Therefore, the correct answer is Library publicity.
