Gov Doc Kids Group is a national group of government information librarians, primarily from the Johnson County Library and the Eisenhower Presidential Library (KS). Members are also based at Muskingum University in Ohio. The Group is co-sponsored by the State Library of Kansas, Kansas Library Association Government Documents Roundtable (GODORT) ,the State Library of Ohio and the Government Documents Roundtable of Ohio.

Our goal is to promote government information in order to engage K-12 students in learning about history, culture, science, and government through games and other interactive activities; to assist teachers and school librarians with locating teaching aids, lesson plans, and exciting tools to enhance students' learning, and to provide librarians with a collection of free government resources to advance their reference interview and collection development decisions.

Please join us here to share best practices in spreading the word about educational aspects of online government information. You may also reach us and use our resources at http://govdocs4children.pbworks.com/FrontPage and http://wikis.ala.org/godort/index.php/Gov_Doc_Kids .
