Census Jobs - Applicant Assistance

Jan 29, 2020, 12:00 PM – 2:00 PM

The US Census Bureau has scheduled four Applicant Days at the Solon Public Library to help area residents apply for temporary, flexible jobs with the US Census efforts in 2020. US Census staff will be on hand to answer questions and assist with the job application process. Census jobs wages in Johnson County are $21 per hour and provide $.58 per mile.

Applicants must be 18 years old at the time of the 2020 Census, be a US Citizen, have reliable transportation, and male applicants must have registered for Selective Service. Applicants should bring their personal mobile phones to access their emails and confirm their identity for the application process.

Applicant Days will be on four Wednesdays: January 15, January 29 and February 12, and February 26, 2020. Hours are Noon to 2pm in the Solon Public Library, 321 West Main Street, Solon Iowa. Applicants can also apply on line at 2020census.gov/jobs

Census results determine the number of seats in the US House of Representatives as well as how funds are spent on roads, school and hospitals. Apply online at www.2020census.gov/jobs or attend an Applicant Day for assistance.

Teen Read Meet Up

Feb 3, 2020, 3:30 PM – 4:30 PM

Mondays @ 3:30 PM: Teen Read Meet Up – (6th-8th grade) This new program is the evolution of our Teen Book Club. Instead of bringing a book home to read over the course of a month, 6th-8th graders are invited to gather at the Teen Area Table at the Library each week to listen to a book read aloud, color, and relax. We’ll start with The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams, and go from there. A great opportunity to meet like-minded teens and take some time to quiet your brain after school. Plus, there might be snacks.

Feb 04

Storytime

Feb 4, 2020, 10:30 AM – 11:30 AM

Join us for preschool storytime each week. We'll sing songs, read books, play games and make crafts! For children ages 2-5 years and their caregivers.
