New subject: Fwd: [libraries] Another idea for Wikipedia Loves Libraries

14 Oct 2013

I like this idea! We could take some great photos of the Denver Public Library, the
Boulder Public, or Norlin.

Relatedly, how does everybody feel about having our next meet up on Saturday, October 26?
My friend Andy might be able to make it then!

Cheers,
Gaurav

 On a visit to ta friend's house, I saw that he has this new coffee-table book
"The Library: A World History."  It has beautiful photographs (interior and
exterior shots) from all over the world of libraries from Roman times to the present
(including plenty in Asia that were totally unfamiliar to me).

 Immediately I thought that Wikipedia's photograph hunts (e.g. "Wiki Loves
Monuments") could be combined with Wikipedia Loves Libraries to create a fabulous
record of libraries in communities the world over, large and small.

 Perhaps next year?
