2010 Census
Participate in the 2010 Census and help improve the quality of life in River Forest. Answer 10 simple questions to make sure our community is accurately counted when the federal government determines how to distribute more than $400 billion annually for new roads, hospitals, housing, schools, transportation, and other important projects. Don't miss this opportunity to make a difference.
The River Forest Library will be a Questionnaire Assistance Center (QAC) for this process. A QAC representative will be available in the library from March 19-April 19, on Tuesdays-Fridays from 3pm-6pm, and on Saturdays from 11am-2pm.
