The Guide contains practical information to assist library staff in addressing potential patron and community requests regarding the upcoming 2020 Census. The Guide includes: * basic information about the Census process; * highlights of new components in the 2020 Census, such as the online response option; * frequently asked questions; * a timeline of key Census dates; * contact information and links to additional resources.
