Wonderful news, Merrilee! If WikiProject Med Foundation can assist in any way, please let me know. Also, if you'd like to present that during Wikimania as part of the EDUMed sessions, let me know as well. :)

This is a follow on from our extremely popular Wikipedia + LIbraries https://www.webjunction.org/explore-topics/wikipedia-libraries.html course that we offered in 2017.
