Civics for Adults is the brainchild of former educator and librarian, Donna
L Cohen MLIS, MEd, to bring non-partisan, content-rich, and interactive
workshops to the public, that educate citizens about our political processes
and open avenues for civic engagement.

“Our democracy is strengthened when citizens have accurate and non-partisan
civic knowledge,” says Donna. “My workshops provide information typically
hidden behind the headline-grabbing, background noise of our lives. I inform
about our most essential government and political structures, support
critical thinking skills by illuminating ways that information may be
distorted, and encourage citizen engagement by highlighting multiple ways
that we can influence civic and political life.”   Join Donna’s email list

Program sponsored in part by South Central Kansas Library System— assisting
member libraries to provide excellent service to their communities.

right, not just – stand up, say something, speak up!” Rep. John Lewis
