6pm-8pm Tuesday 26th November 2024

Brixton Library , Brixton Oval, Brixton, London SW2 1JQ

This is the fifth monthly meetup at Brixton Library led by the librarians with Wikimedia editing experience. It is open to all editors established, slightly confident and even the very new.

Brixton Library is on Windrush Square, in central Brixton, 2 minutes walk from Brixton tube station (Victoria line), Brixton mainline train line and also served by many buses.

We will meet on the ground floor of the library, near computers 5-8 and very close to the graphic novels.

If you've never been to a Wikimedia Meetup before, it's just a very friendly, casual get-together where we can talk about our shared hobby. If you're a total newcomer to the wiki world, or just curious, you're welcome to come and talk to experienced wiki contributors.

You can bring your own laptop if you wish but we also will have library computers.

We will generally have a Wikipedia meetup at the library at the end of each month. Going into 2025 we will likely change the day of the week.

Can you help us promote the meetup? Download and share the poster above, pick up flyers from the library or please share on your social media or on your user page.
