CALL-TO-ACTION

Calling all amateur, professional, and aspiring librarians (or anyone who wants to help out)!

Librarian Swarm is a collective effort to turn a bibliography spreadsheet on Palestine (add link) into a free digital library for public self-education. This digital harvest will be hosted with open source software on several shadow libraries.

This Sunday, 10 December 2023, from 13—17 hrs, we need up to 20 volunteers to help gather and organise files and simple metadata.

If you’d like to contribute some of your weekend, see registration info below.

We look forward to swarming together.
