Idea Drop 2016

Knight Foundation is in Austin, Tex. for SXSW and we’re spreading the word about our latest Knight News Challenge on Libraries. Please join us for a happy hour at 6 p.m. at Container Bar to talk about the future of libraries and learn more about the Knight News Challenge on Libraries.

This year, the challenge is offering applicants a chance to win a share of $3 million for innovative projects that answer the question: How might libraries serve 21st century information needs? Along with food and drink, Knight staff will be present to answer questions. See you there!

MugShots is the best dive bar with the best bartenders Downtown. Their bartenders pride themselves on their friendly service and they have one of the best 100 CD-Jukeboxes that you'll find. The photobooth makes it easy for you to leave your very own mugshot on the walls for everyone to see. The beer selection is second to none and they generally have over 50 different beers to choose from.
