Today, ALA released the updated Libraries’ Guide to the 2020 Census.

The 2020 Census will begin in less than 2 months, and we know many library staff will receive questions from their patrons. The Libraries’ Guide to the 2020 Census is ALA’s resource with background information, frequently asked questions, and tips for libraries. Originally released in 2019, the updated Guide reflects the latest information and resources.

Please share this free resource (22-page PDF) with your colleagues who may have questions. (Or if they’re pressed for time, see ALA’s 2-page “2020 Census: Key Facts for Libraries.”)

For additional resources, visit ala.org/census. At Midwinter, you can learn more at “2020 Census: How Libraries Can Support a Complete Count,” on Saturday, January 25, at 10:30 am, in the Pennsylvania Convention Center, room 122-A.

Thank you,
