C-SPAN's traveling bus helps get the word out to students and teachers about the access its tools provides to civic events in America. It can provide "gavel to gavel" video and transcripts of the nation's lawmaking bodies. It even offer tools to help educators keep civics strong in the school systems.

Another part of Tuesday's stop was to interview three WVU professors about their recent works, for C-SPAN's "Book TV" feature.

"The books that these authors have written, one was on George Marshall, one was on welfare state, and one is on death row inmates, all non-fiction, and so it's a wide variety of different things," said Rachel Katz, who works with the C-Span bus. "We get books sent to us all the time and we're really trying to pick things that we think our audience will be interested in and that also ties into our mission."

C-SPAN hasn't set an air date for those interviews.

The bus will head to Kentucky next and Louisiana later this week.
