King County (WA) Library System, Director of Human Resources 

Literacy, Learning, Libraries - Join the nationally recognized King County
(WA) Library System <http://www.kcls.org/>  as the Director of Human
Resources. KCLS, an independent taxing district with an annual operating
budget of $109 million, is comprised of 48 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.  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, 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
