Wikis in libraries

I looked at the wickis for Bull Run and Grand Rapids public libraries. The Bull Run wiki was confusing. It looked like a library webpage with a bunch of wiki related links at the bottom including a "view page source" link. Judging from the content, it appeared to be for library users (but why would the public want to view the page source???), but not user-friendly. The Grand Rapids page was less confusing, but didn't exactly impress me either.

I think I've got a decent understanding of wikis as a tool for collaboration, but how do you apply that to a library's website in a way that makes sense???
