You might also find this Wikidata in One Page resource useful in doing a
general introduction before you get folks to dive into editing.

Figuring out how to structure organizations and their parent / child
relationship is important. As Olaf mentioned, they library system is the
overall administrative home and the branch is a physical location -- some
things belong with the parent, some with the child. It would be great to
model this consistently.
In the work that OCLC did to acquaint librarians with WIkidata, people on
that project did an discovery and exploration exercise that I think was
good and gave people a chance to explore Wikidata before diving into
editing. I can't take any credit for that whatsoever but you might consider
structuring an activity like that. I can share a copy of that with anyone
who is interested.

Hi everyone,
I'm looking for resources to teach absolute beginners how to add a library
(public, academic, etc.) to Wikidata. In my case it would be an instance of
a public library in Australia.
I found this blog post that looks very good
https://coffeecode.net/creating-and-editing-libraries-in-wikidata.html
but thought I'd check in case there's anything else people know of?
I've also tried doing it ... see
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q63873691
and would be happy to have any tips on how to improve it, or pointers to
some best practice examples.
sincerely, Mylee
