Did you hear about the United States Census 2020? It's kind of a big deal! In fact, it's a requirement of our Constitution that every individual in the country be counted. Even if you are not a citizen, you are legally obligated to answer all Census questions.
We dive into the what, why, and how. We discuss the importance of the Census and the Library's role as a trusted partner in helping you to participate. History, geology, geography, it's all here. We even help you spot fraud:
- No one should be asking for your social security number
- Census forms do not ask for bank information
- You will not be emailed or texted by the Census
- No one will ever call you
So, did you hear about the Census?
