### How to contribute your idea, bug report or improvement
1. You can [create an issue](https://github.com/hughrun/public_library_map/issues) on GitHub.
2. You can [send a pull request](https://docs.github.com/en/github/.collaborating-with-issues-and-pull-requests/about-pull-requests) — though it is *strongly preferred* that you either ask to be assigned to an existing issue, or create a new issue, first.
3. You can just send an email to `librarymap`@`hugh`.`run`.

<p>There is a class outline for an <a href="https://librarycarpentry.org/lc-git/">introduction to Git and GitHub aimed at librarians</a> at <code>librarycarpentry.org</code>. This assumes you are using the command line. If you create or already have a GitHub account, you can also <a href="https://docs.github.com/en/github/managing-files-in-a-repository/editing-files-in-another-users-repository">edit files directly in the browser</a>, or use <a href="https://desktop.github.com/">GitHub Desktop</a> - both of which are probably less intimidating options if you don’t have any desire to learn how to use a command line/shell interface, or just want to make a single minor update.</p>
<h3 id="which-files-to-update">Which files to update</h3>
<p>To update information about library <em>services</em> (e.g. fines info, loan period etc) you should edit <code>website/data/library_services_information.csv</code></p>
<p>After your Pull Request is merged, a GitHub Action will automatically create a second pull request that merges data from <code>website/data/library_services_information.csv</code> into <code>website/data/boundaries.topo.json</code>. Please do not edit the <code>topo.json</code> file directly.</p>
<p>To update information about library <em>locations</em> (e.g. street address, phone number, coordinates) you shoudl edit the relevant csv location file:</p>
