International Federation for Information and Documentation

So kiddo, have you ever heard of books and papers? International Federation for Information and Documentation (or FID for short) is an organization that helps people share and find information from all over the world.

Just like how you sometimes have to ask your teacher for help finding a book in the library, people around the world may need help finding information too. FID helps by bringing together librarians, researchers, and other people who work with information from different countries.

FID also helps make sure that information is organized and stored properly, so people can find what they need easily. Think of it like tidying up your room, except instead of toys, it's information!

So, the International Federation for Information and Documentation is like a big helpful group that works to make it easier for people to find, share, and organize information all around the world.
