The 2020 Census letter will be delivered to homes in less than a month! Newborn babies and young children under five are often missed in the census count yet the census helps determine which areas qualify for the critical resources that children and families depend on for the next 10 years including food assistance, Head Start, childcare, public schools, early intervention services, and children's health insurance. We'll share ideas on how you can incorporate messages around counting and the importance of the census into storytime and early literacy programs to work towards a complete count in your communities.
