The Library’s Role in the Census

Every 10 years, the Federal Government conducts a population count, or Census, of everyone in the United States. The Census will begin soon, as people will be receiving a notice in the mail during the next couple of weeks to complete the 2020 Census. Sheridan Fulmer Library Director Cameron Duff says that the library will be playing a role this year in the Census.

Duff said that as soon as people receive their notice in the mail, they can stop by the library to complete the Census online.

Duff said that the goal of the U.S. Census Bureau is to get 95 percent of the population to fill out the Census electronically.
