Dear CTLS Librarians, ZOOM wants kids to play a critical role in the November election. The ZOOM Out the Vote! guide will help kids get involved in the democratic process and increase voter participation in their community. Read on to learn how you can order a set for your library. ZOOM's election guide for kids, ZOOM Out the Vote!, makes the case that every vote counts and shows kids how they can increase voter turnout in their community by hosting a voter registration drive. This guide also outlines ways kids can become involved in politics locally and nationally and lists additional resources kids can use to learn more about the US political system. To order a set of 50 guides for the kids in your program, e-mail a request (including your name, title, organization, address, phone, and work e-mail) to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Packets will be distributed starting in August. Also, check out pbskids.org/zoom in August for downloads and printouts your kids can use to launch their voter registration drive. Let's ZOOM Out the Vote! We encourage you to forward this message on to other colleagues who work with upper-elementary age children. Thank you! The ZOOM Outreach Team
