Greetings!
The Library of Michigan and the United States Census Bureau invite you to attend a Census Solutions Workshop. This workshop will provide a creative, collaborative, problem-solving space to address the importance of census data, reaching
hard-to-count populations (HTC), and encourage participation in the 2020 Census. This workshop will be interactive and hands-on as participants go through a creative process to generate new and innovative ideas and partnerships. The workshop is executed using
design thinking methodology/user centered methods to help the audience go from ideas to actions.
The American Library Association has released the “Libraries’ Guide to the 2020 Census,” highlighting the importance of
census participation not only for your library, but your community. In Michigan, an accurate census count ensures that your library receives state aid funds that reflects your community’s growing populations and the Library of Michigan encourages Michigan
libraries to attend this free, half-day workshop presented by U.S. Census Bureau. This workshop will be held at 4 locations:
Portage District Library – August 23
Peter Whited Public Library – August 28
Chippewa River District Library – August 29
Bloomfield Township Library – September 24
We hope to see you there!
