These are meant for patrons, especially those who might need a heads up that the Census is coming. As a reminder, Census postcards will be mailed on March 12, arriving in households in mid-March.

For tips in providing assistance to Census takers, DPI is maintaining a resource page: https://dpi.wi.gov/pld/census-2020-wisconsin-counts Of particular note, DPI recommends looking at ALA’s most recent Tip Sheet with dates and what to expect. It also recommends looking at Community Connect Lab’s screen grabs of the online Census form. Please share with all staff in your library so they can start familiarizing themselves with the process.
