The Library is considering implementation of a local Cultural Heritage program/project/service/etc. where citizens would be encouraged to submit input using a variety of methods; including letter, snail-mail, e-mail, telephone, interview, through a library supported wiki-based encyclopedia, or directly to Wikipedia in some cases.

We may also offer a "Cultural Heritage Perspectives" forum or blog to contrast and complement encyclopedia content.

For encyclopedic contributions, library staff would assist with consensus building and guide users in writing with a neutral point of view. For user input appropriate for Wikipedia, staff would perform minor edits if necessary and then post.

Sounds like a lot of work and it may be unrealistic to expect significant success, but modest success may be possible if such a program is supported with constant marketing and if the variety of content input options make it really easy for patrons to participate.
