Hi everyone,
In June, thousands of librarians will travel to Washington D.C. to attend the American
Library Association’s Annual Conference. To celebrate, Awesome
Libraries<https://www.awesomefoundation.org/en/chapters/libraries<htt…
and Awesome
DC<https://www.awesomefoundation.org/en/chapters/dc<https://www.aweso…
are hosting a collaborative, live pitch event on June 22nd at Open Gov
Hub<http://opengovhub.org/<http://opengovhub.org/>>org/>>. We’re looking for
creative and inspiring library projects that will have an impact on communities in
Washington D.C. and across the globe. Six finalists will be chosen to pitch their idea to
our panel of judges and members of the D.C. and library communities.
Our judges will choose two winning pitches, with one exclusively focused on the D.C.
community. Each winner will walk out of the pitch event with $1,000 for their project!
In addition, the audience will vote for their favorite pitch of the night, with a prize
funded by attendees’ registration donations. Attend and donate to help make an awesome
library project a reality!
