community analyses using census data

Short article about using the census data to help plan services for your library. I was really sort of astounded when I did our community analysis that there were almost no people in our service area who don’t speak English. I sort of assumed that as a default, you should pay attetnion to diferent cultural and language groups when plannign services. The sad fact about Vermont, or at least where I live, is that it can be pretty ethnically homogenous, even if there are still wide cultural and class differences. [thanks mac]

Hi. This year like many years past I am observing World AIDS Day. Please go see what lii.org has to offer in this category and spend a little time familiarizing yourself with this deadly pandemic which has not gone away.
