HOW?• How Can Census Data Benefit Advocates for Teen Library
Services?Census figures can prove that what you experience everyday at your library is verifiable. Whether you are arguing that:– Your city's teen population is higher than the national
average, or – There are an unusually large number of single parent
homes, or – The number of unemployed is especially high.
The Census can provide the information that you need to create a cohesive, convincing argument for your library as being worthy of support.

WHY?• Why Use Census Data?• Determining what is unique about your
community will help to develop strong arguments &/or grant boilerplates. –Note: Boilerplates are prewritten paragraphs
or documents to be popped into grant applications (to save time).• Boilerplates are then tweaked to match the tone
& requirements of each funder/application.

districts.• Planning services to assist children & adults
with less developed English writing &/or speaking skills.
• Allocating $400+ billion per year to states.

WHAT?• Most useful info for library support purposes:
• Families Served Whose Income Is Sub-Poverty Level: Useful for convincing grantors,
library friends, &/or politicians that need exists.
• Households Speaking a Language besides English at Home: Useful in proving that a diverse population benefits from library services. Many grantors are interested
in/require this information.
