<p style="margin:10px 0;padding:0;color:#202020;font-family:Helvetica;font-size:16px;line-height:150%;text-align:left">We're offering more than $3 million for innovative ideas. The challenge is open to anyone— from public libraries to universities to businesses, nonprofits, and any individual who wants to collaborate, partner and ally with libraries. Even if you’ve never innovated in the library space before and have an idea, we want to hear it.</p>
