United for Libraries invites Trustees to become Library Census Champions
by White, Shannon (MDE) 18 Sep '19

18 Sep '19

Sign up by Oct. 1 to join free launch webinar Library Census Champions United for Libraries, the American Library Association (ALA) Public Policy and Advocacy office and the Census Counts campaign launched Library Census Champions, a new network of state, local and tribal library Trustees helping their libraries and communities prepare for the 2020 Census. "As elected and appointed leaders, library Trustees are uniquely positioned to ensure a fair and accurate count of their communities in the 2020 Census," said Beth Nawalinski, executive director of United for Libraries Census data are used to make decisions about how and where to spend more than $800 billion each year for services and programs communities rely on, including federal funding for libraries. The Census is also the basis for drawing districts for federal, state, and local offices. "With so much at stake for everyone," said Nawalinski, "United for Libraries is equipping Trustees for this once-in-a-decade chance to show that everyone in their communities can count on libraries - particularly those most in danger of underrepresentation and underfunding." Elected and appointed library Trustees can sign up to become a Library Census Champion at http://bit.ly/LibraryCensusChampions . Library Census Champions will receive free information, resources, and actions to take to ensure a fair and accurate census. United for Libraries will host a free live webinar to introduce the Library Census Champions initiative on Tuesday, Oct. 1, at 2:00 p.m. (EDT). The webinar is free for library Trustees who would like to learn more about the project. To register for the webinar, visit www.ala.org/united/censuswebinar<http://www.ala.org/united/censuswebinar> .
