Your Library, Your Town: Data You Need To Know - Tuesday, Jan. 29th (Middletown LSC)  FREE
This half-day workshop is an overview of census, and federal and state agency data available to librarians and media specialists interested in planning programs for their community, and answering reference questions about their communities. In this hands-on workshop we will learn how to access community data to better serve our library patrons. Looking at this data can help us learn the answers to these questions and others:

How many cars drive past your library each day?
How many students in your area are not fluent in English?
Is your town mill rate changing
Any black bear sitings in your area?
What were your towns election results for the last municipal elections?
Any hazardous waste sites in your town?

Our workshop leader will be Nancy Peluso, Federal Documents Librarian at the Connecticut State Library. She is an experienced reference librarian and conducts hands-on workshops on federal and state agency websites, as well as navigating census.gov, for librarians across the state.
