Columbia City's Neighbor News

29 Jun 2011 15:49 Welcome to Week 150 of the Columbia Citizens' Wiki

Whatsa Wikli? ▼

The Citizens' Wikli is the informal e-flyer of Columbia Citizens. In one space, on one page, it pulls together the neighborhood's news, alerts, events, and discussion, drawing from what neighbors bring to the site.

Any Citizen can contribute Wikli items, and any Citizen can edit them. Read more...

And it comes together just about every week. It's our "weekly wiki" — the Wikli.

How does this work? ▼

When does the Wikli come together? All week long — Citizens can post to the site anytime. Most Tuesday nights we tie up the loose ends, so on Wednesday mornings Citizens get an alert via email, facebook, or twitter, which invites hundreds of local readers to check out the week's updates.

How do I post to the Wikli? We've got a "how-to" for that.

Is there a Wikli archives? Sure, right here.

Let’s see how much Columbia City REALLY reads It's a fact: Research shows that children who read as few as 4 or 5 books during the summer experience less summer setback, and research also shows that a summer reading loss of 3 months accumulates to a 2 year gap by the time children reach middle school. That's why the Seattle Public Library has offered a children's Summer Reading Program for the past 92 years. But summer reading is not just for kids, so there are fun incentives for teen and adults who read during the summer as well. — gro.lps|ninrets.acire#ninretS acirE
