The King County Library System was named Library of the Year on June 7, 2011
by Gale, part of Cengage Learning and Library Journal.

This prestigious recognition goes to the U.S. public library that most
profoundly demonstrates service to community, creativity, leadership
and innovation in developing specific community programs,
particularly programs that can be emulated by others.

This award reflects public commitment to KCLS and our
commitment to the communities we serve.

With your inspiration and support, we are a winning team.
Thank You!
