2020 Census Information

March 4, 2020

What is the Census?

The United States Constitution requires a count every 10 years of every person who is residing in the U.S., regardless of immigration status or citizenship. The Census Bureau's goal for the 2020 Census is to "count everyone once, only once, and in the right place."

For the first time, the Census Bureau will promote online response as the preferred method. Computers are always available at the library, and from March 12, 2020 to April 1, 2020 we will have a computer with a privacy screen set aside solely for patrons to fill out the online census form. We are happy to help you access the computer and navigate to the website, but legally we are not allowed to fill the form out for or with you. Once you have received your invitation, you can visit My2020Census.gov to complete the questionnaire

If responding online is difficult for you, you can respond via phone at: 844-330-2020 (English), or 844-468-2020 (Spanish) starting on March 9. Phone numbers for other languages can be found here.
