The Marshall Public Library is hosting a Questionnaire Assistance Center for the 2010 Census. As of yesterday, March 15, 2010, a US Census Bureau employee will be at the Library, 113 South Garfield Avenue, from 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. Tuesday through Friday and again from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Saturday to assist individuals with their 2010 Census forms. This service will be available through April 19. Questionnaire Assistance Centers (QAC) have been established to aid residents in filling out their 2010 Census forms. QAC are there to assist, for example, those unable to read or understand the questionnaire. Large-print questionnaires are also available to the visually impaired upon request, and some QAC locations have access to a Teletext Device for the Deaf(TDD) to help the hearing impaired. 2010 Census questionnaire language assistance guides are also available in a variety of languages.
Another option for individuals who did not receive forms or need help filling out their forms is the Telephone Questionnaire Assistance center. The toll-free telephone number to reach this center is 1-866-872-6868. (Those who prefer a Spanish-speaking operator should dial 1-866- 928-2010.) Deaf and hard-of-hearing persons can call the TDD number at 1-866-783-2010. The lines will be open from 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. (local time) seven days a week through July 30, 2010.
A second QAC in the Pocatello area is at the Idaho Department of Labor at 430 North 5th Avenue. Three “Be Counted” sites have also been identified at Idaho State University, Pocatello City Hall and the Portneuf District Library. The “Be Counted” sites will have blank copies of the 2010 Census forms for individuals who did not receive a form or are concerned they have not been otherwise counted.
