Sections

I'm thinking about adding sections for each library, particularly emphasizing the Main. A history section would be good as well. Paul Haymon 22:50, 10 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. Are there any available reference materials for this information? — Emiellaiendiay 00:56, 23 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There's pamphlets and the like. Paul Haymon 02:22, 23 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Cool. I'll look around for some. — Emiellaiendiay 02:35, 23 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Redirects

Redirects need to be added from pages like Oakland public library, assuming this page survives. Paul Haymon 22:50, 10 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Done. — Emiellaiendiay 00:56, 23 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. Glad to see someone helping out. Paul Haymon 02:23, 23 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Goals

Add photo. I have a crappy one of the Piedmont Ave. branch we can use for now, but we should get a better one in the future. Preferably of the main branch. Even better would one of each branch.
Add background on the library's history, as discussed by Paul Haymon.
Provide at least as much information as the Berkeley Public Library article does.

Add more suggestions if you wish.

Yeah, I think those are reasonable. Maybe I can get a picture of the main library. Paul Haymon 05:10, 23 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, and here's another one: adding recent news about the libaries. There have been issues with funding and such. I'll try to look up some articles on it. — Emiellaiendiay 07:11, 23 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Improvement

What exactly does it take for an article about a public library to become good/featured? I haven't found any examples of excellent library articles. Paul Haymon 02:51, 14 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
