Dear Vicky,

The Knight News Challenge on Libraries is now open for applications
<http://knightfoundation.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=44a06e103b99cf80e07a2eaad&id=153f646b67&e=5d151652fa>,
asking people and organizations to submit ideas that address the question:
How might libraries serve 21st century information needs?

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.

If you have questions about the application, you can join us for virtual
office hours to learn more about the News Challenge. I will also be hosting
an *Ask Me Anything reddit chat* *on Monday, Feb. 29, from 7 – 9 p.m. ET*.
Details on the chat and information on virtual office hours can be found
