<span style="font-family:"Georgia",serif;color:#1A1A1A">This past March, EBSCO announced the FOLIO Innovation Challenge, a program that will award grants between $5,000 and $20,000 to libraries based on the innovative solutions they propose that advance technology
for libraries. There are three rounds for this program with deadlines in May, 2017, December, 2017, and March, 2018. EBSCO is providing the primary funding for the development of FOLIO and is looking forward to giving back to libraries and helping to further
support innovation with this program. EBSCO is continuing to help support the growth of the FOLIO community through other programs and service offerings to help make it easier for libraries to adopt FOLIO.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
