Abstract (in about 300 words)

The Wikipedia Library is an open research hub, a place for active Wikipedia editors to gain access to the vital reliable sources that they need to do their work and to be supported in using those resources to improve the encyclopedia. Apart from the primary objective, TWL also has several other support programs such as reference desks, source sharing, book purchase programs etc. This talk will create an awareness about the concept of TWL, the programs run by the TWL, and how you be a part of this. The talk will also focus on why building local branches of TWL is important, and the steps involved in that process. The session will also cover some of the best practices for Wikimedians to engage with libraries and librarians.
