We've also used Basecamp (http://basecamphq.com) for both internal and
external collaboration.  Note that, in very small type on their Plans
and Pricing page, they offer Basic and Free plans, which may be as much
as you need.

I love wikis for lots of uses, but I've ended up making the following
recommendation a couple times for smaller/internal projects, and it's
been well received:

 

Start with a shared Google Docs account and use the word processor and
spreadsheet apps to create and collaborate on docs. The main Google Docs
page works well as a TOC, and you can tag pages with multiple key-words.
If/when you get to having 10 pages, then think about making the move to
a wiki.

 

What a couple of my buddies discovered is that their initial
requirements in terms of pages/topics ended up being, well... their only
requirements. After a year, one of them was doing fine with just two
shared docs that they updated quite frequently. Much easier than a wiki
if you don't need lots of cross-references and many different pages.

Hoping to receive suggestions for  free wiki software that could be used
by our small public library (10 employees) to communicate with each
other about internal matters, websites, training resources, etc.

 

Thanks and Happy New Year!
