Census Time!
Posted March 4th, 2010 by AnitaThe first U.S. census was taken in 1790 by the U.S. Marshalls on horseback. At that time, there were 3.9 million people living here. In 2000, the population had risen to 280 million. What will the number be this year? The census form is coming to your house in the mail this month, please take some time to fill it out.
Census data is taken every ten years as required by the Constitution to equally redistribute the seats in the House of Representatives among the states based on population.

For the first time since the Library opened in 1993, bricks in the Eunice D. Jensen Rose Garden are once again available for purchase and inscription. Each purchase of a brick will raise funds for the basement renovation which will provide additional space to serve the community.
If you did not have a chance to purchase a brick previously, or would like to purchase an additional brick, now is your chance to be part of the Library's history.
Purchase a brick:
