In short the answer is no. The library (and as far as we can determine no other agency) does not distribute census forms / questionnaires for use in the 2010 Census.
But, if you have not received a census questionnaire at your home by April 12th you have a couple of options.
First, contact the Census Bureau directly either at one of their national numbers or at their regional office in Dallas

There are several factors that influence whether or not you will receive a replacement census questionnaire. Here's the official answer from census.gov
Based on past censuses and more current data collected in the American Community Survey the Census Bureau has identified 3 mailing conditions
which determine whether you will or will not receive a replacement questionnaire:
• Blanket replacement questionnaire mailing – In low response mailout/mailback census areas of the country, a replacement questionnaire will be sent to all housing units.
• Targeted replacement questionnaire mailing – In targeted mailout/mailback census areas, a replacement questionnaire will only be sent to the non-responding housing units in those census tracts likely to have a middle-range of mail response rates.
• No replacement questionnaire – In census areas with expected high mail response rates, no replacement questionnaires will be sent.
Regardless if a replacement questionnaire was or was not mailed, a census worker will visit all households who have not responded to the census during Nonresponse Followup.
