SUMMARY:Census Data for Libraries: A Deeper Dive into Your Community
DESCRIPTION:The MBLC invites all interested library staff and advocates who 
 were not able to attend our spring sessions on discovering your community 
 through Census Data\, to an encore of Census Data 101 and Census Data: A 
 Deeper Dive. Presenter from the U.S. Census Bureau\, Nicole Esburnett 
 McKenzie will\, through live demonstrations\, teach participants to how to 
 use data.census.gov to gain meaningful data and insights into your 
 library's community that libraries can then use to inform advocacy\, 
 programming\, services and more! Questions are highly encouraged as 
 personalized information can be acquired and viewed in real time. The 
 second encore session will be:\n\nCensus Bureau Data:  A Deeper Dive into 
 Your Community by the Numbers\n\nIn this workshop you will learn how to 
 find population and demographic data for various geographies\, using 
 data.census.gov\, the Census Bureau’s premiere online data platform. 
 Understanding community characteristics can help inform and prioritize the 
 need for library services\, funding\, and programs.  You will learn how to 
 customize a search to find data tables on community population\, 
 demographics\, socio-economic\, and housing data.  We will provide a live 
 demonstration of data.census.gov and show you how to use maps\, charts\, 
 and access various data tables that can be downloaded and shared.
