2020 Census

The 2020 Census is upon us!

Health clinics. Fire departments. Schools. Even roads and highways. (And of course Libraries!!!) The census can shape many different aspects of your community.

• Census results help determine how billions of dollars in federal funding flow into states and communities each year.

• The results determine how many seats in Congress each state gets.

• It's mandated by the U.S. Constitution in Article 1, Section 2: The U.S. has counted its population every 10 years since 1790.

Starting July 27th, US Census workers will be here at Culpeper County Library every Monday (10-1 pm) and Wednesday (1-5 pm) for the next several weeks. Stop by their table for assistance on filling out the census or to ask questions.
