A Message From The Director
Hello all!
As our communities feel the impact of COVID-19, we are doing what we can to slow the virus’ spread. We practice social distancing, we wash our hands ALOT and we look out for our neighbors. Here’s one more thing we can do — complete the 2020 Census!
It’s more crucial than ever that every New Yorker fill out the Census and get counted. An accurate count of our state’s population ensures government leaders at every level invest in our needs and determines how much money New Yorkers receive out of the billions of dollars in federal funding for healthcare, schools, and housing, among other resources.
Encouraging an accurate count for the 2020 Census is just one way the Kirkland Town Library is committed to helping our community during this unprecedented time.
Filling out the 2020 Census is fast, easy, and confidential. In as little as 10 minutes, you can help determine the funding and Congressional representation New York will receive for the next 10 years. Please visit the Census website below or call 844-330-2020 to respond today.
Thank you for helping shape the future of our community!
Anne Debraggio, Director
