The Women's March Edit-a-thon will be held at St. Louis County Library Grant's View Branch on Wednesday, January 18, 2017, as part of the Women's March efforts happening in January 2017 across the USA. The aim of the Women's March is to bring together women throughout the country to show unity in the fight for the rights of women and other marginalized groups. Let's bring this same unity to the pages of the Internet to affect bias and equity on Wikipedia.

The Edit-a-thon will be held in the room labeled "storytime" near the children's section of the library, which is to the east of the entry doors on the first level.
