2020 planning is well underway and there are numerous ways libraries can be involved in ensuring that all Ohio residents are counted. For the first time in United States history, the forthcoming Census will offer an online option to respond. In Ohio, there
are many libraries that serve areas with limited internet connectivity and have historically been challenging for the Census Bureau to count. As community hubs with internet access, libraries will play a critical role in ensuring all Ohioans are counted.
Libraries are essential to every community, campus, student, and patron that come through its doors or connects online.
