Hi Megs, all Just as a reminder we are having our global user group meetup April 21, 2021 at 12:00 p.m UTC. If someone representing this effort (maybe you?) wants to come and talk a little about this it would be great but we'll definitely bring it to everyone's attention as another opportunity!
Meeting details including connection link are here: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_and_Libraries_User_Group/Worldwide_activities Hope to see you all there!
