The 2020 Census will take place in just a few weeks! Carnegie Public Library is here to help. By April 1, every home will receive an invitation to participate in the 2020 Census. You can respond online, by phone, or by mail. In mid-March, households will begin receiving official Census Bureau mail with detailed information on how to respond to the 2020 Census. At the library, you can access the internet from one of our public computers to submit your response. Your response is important!
