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.

-Shiba, Kent Library Welcoming Center Ambassador
