King County (WA) Library System, Director of Public Service
Share commitment to public service, your passion for the public library's
mission, and King County's vision and values - Join the nationally
recognized King County (WA) Library System <http://www.kcls.org/> as the
Director of Public Service. This Director of Public Service will inspire and
promote organizational change through staff involvement and collaborative
problem-solving resulting in workable solutions. He/she will actively
demonstrate a positive leadership role within the library and in the
community. KCLS, an independent taxing district with an annual operating
budget of $115 million, is comprised of 49 community libraries and serves
over 2 million ethnically diverse residents over 2300 square miles. In
2004, voters supported a $172 million capital bond to renovate, expand, and
build new libraries across King County - in 10 years, KCLS has opened 13 new
libraries, expanded 11, and renovated 11, and in 2016 will open 3 new
library buildings and complete renovations on another 5. The 1,200
innovative and dedicated staff (883 FTE) serves its residents in the
library, in the community, and through its virtual presence. Staff reaches
10,000+ non-English speaking families with the Library's early literacy
services and programs. The Library also has twelve Library2Go! vehicles
providing convenient access to many library services for customers of every
age. These community services and programs propelled KCLS to be named
Library Journal's 2011 Library of the Year and the 2012 Outstanding Civic
Organization by the Municipal League of King County.
Washington's King County <http://www.kingcounty.gov/> offers a remarkable
blend of vibrant cities, suburban developments, rural landscapes, farms and
forests. Many areas enjoy spectacular views of Puget Sound, the Olympic and
Cascade mountain ranges and Mt. Rainier, convenient access to Seattle and
all the amenities the region has to offer. King County is home to eleven
colleges and universities including the University of Washington, a leading
research institution, hosting one of the nation's top medical schools.
Community colleges, art and culinary institutions, and technical schools
round out the area's choices for higher education. Employment opportunities
are available through many Fortune 500 companies-Amazon, Costco, Microsoft,
Nordstrom, Paccar, Starbucks and Boeing are key employers. Arts, music,
shopping, celebrations and festivals, and, of course, coffee, are also part
of daily life in King County. For additional information on the Library and
the region, visit KCLS Links <http://www.gossagesager.com/KCLSlinks.htm> .

Hello Everyone,
I've hesitated adding the Rush Revere books to our collection, but they seem
to be gaining in popularity. I'm pretty open minded, and I think I may give
them a try. If your library has any of these books, would you please tell
me how well they circulate?
Thank you,

In October 2014 the Aspen Institute released its report, Rising to the Challenge: Re-Envisioning Public Libraries. With support from the Bill &Melinda Gates Foundation, the multi-year project brought together thought leaders and experts from different sectors, including libraries, to consider the challenges, opportunities and trends that will influence the future of public libraries in the United States. Since then the Aspen Institute has embarked upon an ambitious program to ensure that the report will be used to promote transformation and sustainability of public libraries in communities across the country and at state and national levels.
If you've heard about the Aspen report and would you like to know how you could utilize it in your library or community, this webinar is for you. Join Susan Hildreth, Aspen Fellow, to learn about the highlights of the reports and resources available to support your use of the report with a variety of stakeholders.
By the end of this one-hour webinar, participants will:
* Be familiar with the three key elements of the report - People, Place and Platform

I am seeking information regarding the salary range of a Facilities
Supervisor or Manager. We are a Class IV library and very lucky to have a
person who handles a wide range of facility responsibilities. If you have a
similar position, I would like to know the top and bottom salary range.
Thanks in advance!
