All In Illinois
On April 2, Governor JB Pritzker introduced All In Illinois to unite residents across the state to continue to stay home and stay safe. Now more than ever, we all need to do our part to support our communities. We can slow the spread if we do it together. Our strongest weapon against COVID-19 is you. Join us and take the pledge to being 'All In' — for our neighbors and grandparents, our health care professionals and first responders, our grocery store workers and so many more.
Thank you for committing to being All in Illinois by staying safe and staying home. Together, we are #AllinIllinois

Census
The government wants as many people as possible to be counted via the website or by phone. To this end, the first thing to be sent in the mail will NOT be a paper questionnaire. Instead, it will be a mailer giving the website (www.my2020census.gov) and the phone number to use to be counted. These initial mailings will go out on March 12th.
Some people may receive their paper form with the first mailing.
People may respond online using any device: smart phone, tablet, laptop, or desktop.
If you do not respond via website or phone by April 8, a paper questionnaire will be sent. Household visits will begin on May 13th for those who have not responded in any way.
Important Dates
March 12 Mailings begin
April 1 Reminders sent
April 8 If you have not responded via phone or online, you will be sent a paper questionnaire
May 13 Household visits to non-respondents begin
July 31 Self-response closes
EASY: Responding will take no more than 10 minutes via online, phone, or paper
SAFE: Personal information is protected; there will be NO citizenship question
IMPORTANT: Census information is used for political representation and funding for public services, such as education and roads. It is very important that each person is counted!
If you need a computer to use for the online census, please visit us at the library once the building is re-open we will have apointment times for computer usage! Librarians Believe That Everyone Counts!
