Wikipedia belongs in Libraries, we claim. And it’s true. Libraries are engaged with Wikipedia and its sister projects around the globe in over 300 languages. We lead new programs, launch interactive maps, edit Wikipedia articles, transcribe ancient texts, create citations, teach students, connect with newcomers, and preserve and promote languages and culture. This event will bring together Wikimedians who work in and with libraries from around the globe to discuss Wikimedia projects and learn from one another.
