COVID-19 has affected communities in uneven ways. Join the Government Documents Round Table for a panel discussion that examines the impact COVID is having on diverse communities. The Census Bureau will offer information about documenting experiences with the COVID Pandemic through the Household Pulse Survey. We will also hear from tribal and local governments about the impact on their residents and communities.

Learning Objectives:

Identify factors shaping the effects of COVID-19 on communities of color and examine the variety of factors that create disparate impacts on communities of color.
Identify gaps in data and services that impact communities of color.
Identify activities that libraries can do to support communities of color.
