JOFM8qIMgg&e=>  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.
