Abstract
The National Library of Israel has been involved in Wikimedia activities over the years: edithons, workshops, courses, campaigns, hackathon and more.

We are among the first National libraries to offer reference services to Hebrew Wikipedia editors.

One of the outstanding contributions of the library's activity is the participation of the public from all over the country, from the youngest who was aged 11 years to senior citizens.

The National Library is the home for Wikipedians in Jerusalem.

We will share some insights and statistics from the past 7 years of fruitful cooperation with Wikimedia-Israel.
