The 2020 Census begins soon, and libraries have been called upon to facilitate a complete and correct count. This webinar aims to answer remaining questions and give your staff the confidence they need to assist the public.
Qs beyond the FAQ
We have 101 questions about the 9-question 2020 Census form, and suspect you do, too. Erika H. Becker-Medina, Chief of Communications for the Decennial Census helps clear the fog.
Legal considerations
What laws surround the Census? Am I legally required to respond? What laws protect personal Census data? Do libraries or staff face any risks by assisting? Attorney Britton Isaly from Ancel Glink provides assurance from a legal perspective.
