Upcoming Dates[edit]

  • Weekly Workshop (Wednesday, September 7 from 5:30 PM to 7:00 PM at the 18th Avenue Library Room 344): Join us to discuss Wikipedia, learn how to edit, and contribute together. This week we will be giving an update on Wiki Loves Monuments. New students are welcome! Please bring a laptop if you can; food and drink will be provided.
  • Wiki Loves Monuments (Entire month of September): Last week, we introduced Wiki Loves Monuments, the world's largest international photo competition focusing on capturing cultural heritage monuments. We introduced the event as being Ohio-only - but it has since been expanded into a national competition! Visit the event page for more details.
