Redlands A.K. Smiley Public Library and the League of Women Voters, San Bernardino Area, will present Everybody Counts: Understanding the 2020 U.S. Census, an online workshop on Zoom, at 10 a.m. Thursday, Aug. 20.

The workshop is free. Register at http://www.akspl.org/news-events/census/. The workshop will also be recorded and be available on the A.K. Smiley Public Librarys Facebook page, according to a news release.

The 2020 U.S. Census began April 1 and will close Sept. 30. The results are used to determine how much funding communities receive for public services and how many seats each state gets in Congress.

People are required by law to respond to the census, but the Census Bureau is prohibited by law from releasing any identifiable information about those who respond, according to the news release. Responses are used only to produce statistics.

The workshop will cover questions people are asked to reply to on the 2020 census form and tips for responding, plus information on how the Census Bureau will and will not use the answers, according to the news release.
