Hi Talia! I live in Oakland and would love to help you with this (not like it matters
where we live, these days). The Main Branch hosted an editing event a few years ago, but
that was just as community space - it would be great to get some of the awesome OPL
librarians involved. I've been curious about your branch and collections for a long
time so I would really welcome this as an opportunity.

Subject: [External] [Wikimedia-SF] Hosting Black History Month Edit-a-Thon at the African
American Museum and Library at Oakland
Hello,
I am the Branch Manager at the African American Museum and Library at Oakland and I am
interested in hosting a Wikipedia Edit-a-thon as part of our Black History Month series of
events. In the past I have hosted similar events at the Library of Congress and worked
with Ariel Cetrone (Institutional Partnerships Manager at Wikimedia District of Columbia).
I am new to the Bay Area Wikimedia community and would appreciate any assistance from
local wikimedians to make this event (the first one for the Oakland Public Library
system!) happen.
Your time and guidance is greatly appreciated!
Best,
Talia
