2020 Census
To best position libraries to support our communities in the 2020 U.S. Census, PLA and ALA engaged with the Census Bureau and other stakeholders to ensure that libraries were informed and represented in the policy discussions and planning process.

The PLA Board of Directors and staff committed to providing information on the rapidly-evolving situation with COVID-19 to PLA members. We compiled some information to consider as libraries, communities, and families responded to the crisis.
