Thank you to everyone who supported the KCLS Foundation in 2023!
The work of the KCLS Foundation to fund new and innovative programs at our libraries would not be possible without the support of every single donor, volunteer, partner, patron, and stakeholder. Thank you.
I鈥檝e had the privilege of witnessing the transformative impact our program has on the communities we serve. Your support empowers us to make a tangible difference.

For generations, King County Libraries have been a staple for lifelong learning, access, and community. Members of the Literary Legends Society help sustain and fund crucial, innovative, and diverse programs and services throughout our libraries for generations to come by designating the KCLS Foundation in their estate planning and legacy giving.
