Help add to history! This month we are featuring National Poetry Month. Learn about editing Wikipedia pages and the resources available in RBSCP collections.

No experience is necessary. Training will be available and there will be plenty of volunteers to answer questions about editing.

Drop in for half an hour or longer; no need to stay for the full session. Light refreshments will be provided.

View our tutorials and get ideas for edits to make on our LibGuide.
