I am not thinking of libraries as the subject but as the means. Community libraries often have local history collections. In SA all the public libraries are run through local councils. Local councils would probably like to have good articles and links through QR library community editing could be a way to do that. University Libraries similarly are situated in entities which could have sites and interest in being connected through QR the libraries are a service on site which can help people edit. This course looks like it would be great to train librarians to show others how to make good articles. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:School_of_Open_course/February_2014 That could be followed by editing days and maybe some could be QR'd
