TAPROOTS: the State of KS Social Welfare 1964-71 archives

From the KSLIB:

Happy Friday everyone!

This week’s Kansas Government Information (KGI) Online Library blog features TAPROOTS, a serial publication of the Kansas Department of Social Welfare issued between 1964-1971. Taproots covered the different aspects of social services to Kansans provided by state and local government during the 1960s… a time of great change in the U.S. It’s a great source for historians and social service researchers. It’s also full of photos or people and places in our recent history.

Read the blog and peruse the pages of Taproots at:

Also included in this week’s blog is a link to agency/division publications in KGI by the Kansas Department of Agriculture’s Animal Health Division (formerly the Kansas Department of Animal Health).

Keep Your Money Well

Provided by the State Library of Kansas:

Hello all,

Every year, April is National Financial Literacy Month. In addition, this year's Money Smart Week is April 23 through the 30th. Money Smart Week is a great time to help patrons learn to manage personal finances with events and activities.

Please take a look at a list of financial literacy resources at the State Library's website, compiled for librarians and educators regarding financial literacy education. These include curriculum resources and programming ideas.

Also, be sure to view the financial literacy resources available to all Kansans, from youth to older adults.

This year, we've added a Total Boox shelf to the financial literacy Digital Books page, as well as some additional titles. Feel free to check back, as other titles might be included throughout the month.

Let me know if you have any questions!

Thank you,
