Hello Boston Wikipedians,
Below is a copy of recent email correspondence with the Cambridge Public Library, regarding participation in the upcoming Wikipedia Loves Libraries event in October 2011. The Library won't be able to participate this time, but would be interested in a future event.

Anne,
[...] I talked with a few of my colleagues and it is something we'd like to do but we won't be able to do it this October. [...] Please do keep me posted - given a little more time, I'd really like to plan for this if it happens again in the future.
Thanks,
Alyssa

Dear Alyssa,
Would the Cambridge Public Library/Cambridge Room consider participating in the upcoming fall 2011 "Wikipedia Loves Libraries" event? It seems like it might be a wonderful way to publicize CPL's resources, especially, for instance, in local history. I think the Harvard Law School and MIT may be organizing events along these lines.
