Libraries are repositories of information, places of learning and of
research. One of the ancient libraries, the Library of Alexandria is
credited with comparing different versions of books with empirical
standards which became the beginnings of the scientific method.
Libraries are filled with adventures of discovery wrapped in layers of
shush.

The Project of the Month is to add your local library to the map.

This is the a Project of the Month. Project of the Week returns
next week, while PotM will continue until the end of January. These projects
inspire mappers to contribute data they might not have considered
previously, and allow us to be inspired by the projects of other

This is your Project of the Month. Make suggestions. Inspire other
mappers. What is it about contributing to OpenStreetMap that
interests you? Postboxes? Bowing alleys? Share your OpenStreetMap
obession by contributing a Project of the Month.

A place of worship serves as a meeting place, a place to celebrate or
remember and as a focal point of a community. Some places of worship
are useful in navigation as a distinctive or tall building.

The Project of the Week is to add local places of worship to the map.

We want to watch our waistlines and our carbon consumption so we like
to ride our bikes more than we used to do. That’s fine when we take a
trip for the sake of a trip, but what about when we want to pick up
the groceries, or borrow a book from the library? We need a safe place
to put our bike so that it won’t impede others and so that it will be
there for us when we need it again. We need a bike rack.

The Project of the Week is to map your local bicycle parking infrastructure.

Learn more about how to add bicycle parking to OpenStreetMap on the wiki.
