Enoch Pratt Free Library

Starting in mid-March, households all across the country will begin receiving their 2010 Census questionnaires in the mail. The questionnaire consists of 10 questions designed to help the federal government learn more about the country's population and its needs. Full community participation helps government agencies better gauge the level of economic support a community will receive. Pratt Library has partnered with the Census Bureau to emphasize the importance of this crucial service, and to provide assistance to residents once they receive their questionnaires.

Here at the Pennsylvania Avenue Branch, we're here to help residents in completing their questionnaires. Members of the Friends of the Pennsylvania Avenue Branch Library will be available Wednesday evenings starting March 24th to assist residents with the Census questions. Here are the details:

What: Assistance with the 2010 Census Questionnaire

When: March 24, March 31, April 7, and April 14, 3:00-7:00 p.m.

If you have questions during the 2010 Census process, come to one of these sessions to get some assistance.

The Pennsylvania Avenue Branch has undergone several changes, and we're ready to show you what we've got! We have more computers for the public, both in the Adult and Childrens Areas. Plus, Pennsylvania Avenue now has wireless Web service for our customers. So, stop by and take a look at the changes we've made.

Yay, it's the holidays! You've open the gifts, enjoyed a nice meal, and now the kids are bored and need something to do. Why not tell them a story? Not a storyteller you say? Luckily, we have Childrens' stories available anytime. You can call the Story Anytime line at (410) 396-8396, or you can connect to one of our interactive eStories online. A good story is just a click or phone call away!
