writing contest launches to engage communities with literature<br>
</span></b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 18.66px;">America’s libraries are home to countless volumes and voices of diverse writers. They also are trusted public spaces for people to connect, receive
community information and grow as readers and writers. The Public Library Association (PLA) today announced a new national writing contest that aims to build on the rich legacy of these vital community institutions.<br>
</span></p>
<div>The contest invites writers of all backgrounds to submit short stories on the theme of courage. Winners can receive up to $1,000 and have the opportunity to be published in Short Story Dispensers—ATM-like kiosks that print short stories in a range of genres—around
the world. The contest is hosted in collaboration with Short Édition, the creator of Short Story Dispensers, and the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>“Librarians know that literacy and reading are foundational for full civic participation. This partnership bolsters creative community expression and engagement—inspiring those who write to read more, and those who read to write better,” said PLA President
Monique le Conge Ziesenhenne. “Our hope for this contest is to further connect our communities with literature, local libraries and each other.”</div>
