Book excerpt: "Always wanted to get more involved in your local community, but don't know where to start? Have an issue you care about, but don't know how to advocate for it because of our confusing political system? With 'A Beginner's Guide To Local Government,' you'll be confused no more! Our easy-to-read (and fun) guide walks you through all the basics about how Austin's local government system works... and most importantly, how to get involved. By the end, you'll know who the mayor and your City Council member are, what they do, and how to get in contact with them. We'll even give you tips on how to attend your first City Council meeting. The entire coloring book is interactive, with pages that tear out (so you can write your first letter to your City Council member) and questions to answer (to get you thinking about how you can make more of a difference in your community). Oh, and did we mention it comes with stickers? Welcome to a more functional democracy." --
