It'd be difficult since the form she's in now is the one that dies in The Library but if the writer's really wanted to, they could work their way around that.
She's an interesting character and it could be interesting to see how the character would evolve with different actresses playing the role.
Also, it would add more Time Lordiness to the show and could open the doors to a full Gallifreyan comeback.

Moffat dislikes Gallifrey and the Time Lords, so a return is off the cards.
Let River go, her story has been more or less told, this is the Doctor's show, not hers
The old "time can be re-written" ploy.:D
True, but she's not the only Melody Pond...
No, there's 3 of those.
The Doctor now with the knowledge that River Song had the ability to regenerate could put two and two together and if needed find a way to restore her from the library
Yes we have.
In the Doctor's timeline, River died years ago when the Doctor looked a lot like some Scottich actor called David Tennant.
Ludicrous idea, a computer created by humans wouldnt have a CLUE how to replicate time lord genetics. Bad fanfiction.
Who said they were human? They were humanoid yes, but I don't think it was ever explicitly said that they were human.
No, you're thinking about it the wrong way round. David Tennant was the last doctor that River dealt with, but Matt Smith is the last doctor in the Doctor's timeline who deals with her. He is the one who knows her, and the one who might decide at some point to try and revive her. David Tennant's doctor obviously can't do that any more.
The Doctor's timeline works forward from 10 to 11 - we've seen everything in 10's timeline - it can't go any further than his regeneration into 11.
We certainly don't know how many Doctor's she meets because both she and he time travel.
In fact, the oddest thing about River is that she was born and died 3,000 from now but her parents are from the 20th/21st century. Try and work out what era River actually belongs in.
She was conceived in the TARDIS, hence she doesn't belong anywhere in time which is why she's a time traveller. :cool:
But she was born on a planet on a specific date - your age is measured from the date of conception.
But I seriously doubt they have any intention of using that, or they wouldn't have needed to have her give away her regenerations....
But she's a time traveller, due to the fact that she was conceived in a time machine. When and where she was born has no bearing on the fact that she doesn't belong in any specific 'era'. Though being Amy and Rory's child she should belong in 2011.
THere was a typo in my previous post - it should have said "you're age isn't determined from the date of conception".
As for being a time traveller, that just makes it difficult to calculate someone's age based on a calendar - they still have personal, linear time-times.
It's not about "belonging" in any era - it's about her timeline and in her timeline she dies in the library. and no amount of time travel allows you to be alive after you are dead. You may have travelled to a period after your death and therefore appear to be "alive" - you could attend your own funeral, for example but that's an illusion of continued existence - no more than an interactive recording of the person.
