An Important Message from the US Census Bureau

 

In March 2010, more than 130 million addresses will receive a 2010 Census form by mail or hand delivery. The 2010 Census will document the changes in our nation since the last decennial census in 2000, and tell us how we’ve evolved as a country. Because census data affect how more than $400 billion in federal funding is distributed to tribal, state and local governments, the census also will frame the future of our country and our community for the next 10 years.

During Census 2000, the mail participation rate was 72 percent as of the April 2000 cut-off. About $85 million is saved for every one percent increase in mail participation. For these and many other reasons, we must work to encourage everyone’s participation in the census.

Johnson’s dedication to the Kansas library community and his assistance with the development of the FoKL organization were highlights of his tenure as Kansas State Librarian. The recipient of this award receives a perpetual plaque to hang in their office for the year and $100 is given in their honor to the Kansas Library Foundation. Previous recipients are Hans Fischer, architect from Lawrence, Leroy Gattin, former director of the Hutchinson Public Library, Vikki Jo Stewart, former Special Projects Librarian at the State Library of Kansas, Pat Gaunce, former Kansas City (KS) Public Library branch manager, and Jane Hatch, also from the Kansas City (KS) Public Library.
