Even though I live in NJ now, I still follow the list and could get in touch
with a Boston Public Library employee if you want. He does reference at
Dudley and I think still works Sundays at the main branch at Copley. I used
to work at the West Roxbury branch and they have Wifi and a room you can
reserve.

Has anyone asked at the Somerville Public Library? One of my friends is in
charge of the local history collection (among other duties) at the Central
Branch and might be interested in this event. I'm in one of the book groups
and could potentially ask that librarian, too. Let me know if you'd like me
to inquire (at least on the "Hey, can I put Anne in touch with you about
this cool Wikipedia event?" level). I also know someone at the Winthrop
Public Library and maybe others, too. (I know more
specialized/corporate/nontraditional/academic librarians than public or
school librarians.)

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.
