[CASL-L] Census resources for libraries

[Hurley, Gail]

Good afternoon,

Yesterday we held our first CT Library Census Conversations workshop with U.S. Census Partner Specialist Eva Bunnell at the Waterford Public Library.  It was a great session with lots of information for libraries and questions answered.  While the workshop was happening, a new video was just released on how to complete the questionnaire online:

Questions and Answers for Stakeholders Supporting the 2020 Census (shows what libraries can and can't do when helping the public)
https://2020census.gov/content/dam/2020census/materials/partners/2019-10/partners-self-response.pdf

The https://2020census.gov/ site has lots of fact sheets, videos, posters, and other outreach materials to special segments of your populations.
Outreach materials can be found at https://2020census.gov/en/partners/outreach-materials.html including the following:

We were reminded about a fun picture book called Tricking the Tallyman<https://cscu-csl-primo.hosted.exlibrisgroup.com/permalink/f/1umc6f3/01CSCU_NETWORK_ALMA7170096860003451> which is about the first census in 1790.  We have 2 copies of this book at the Middletown Library Service Center.

If you have not had a chance to sign up for one for one of the CT Library Census Conversations workshops for library staff yet, please go to the Continuing Ed calendar at https://cslib.libcal.com/  and sign up.  They are being held on Tuesdays in January and February at various regions in the state.

Best,
Gail
