KCLS Supports Citizen Engagement During Election Season and Year-round

The first Tuesday in November is Election Day—a consequential day for our democracy when citizens have a voice in determining the outcome of issues that will impact their lives.

King County residents made their voices heard in 1942 when they voted to establish the King County Rural Library District. In 2004, voters were heard again when they approved a $172 million capital bond to build, renovate or expand community libraries that will serve them for generations to come.

KCLS 2019 Budget Hearings
Join us for KCLS' Public Budget Hearings. The 2019 Budget reflects KCLS’ continuing commitment to provide expert staff, welcoming spaces and diverse collections. It also begins to put KCLS’ Strategic Focus into action by funding several key initiatives that align with the broad, strategic themes that guide our work: Organizational Excellence; Communities of Inclusion and Belonging; Responsive, Inspirational Service; and Strategic Communication. Initiatives range in size and complexity—from programs and services of interest to communities, to operational improvements that reduce costs, to investments in the repair and maintenance of KCLS’ capital assets.
