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’ve 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.

KCLS Foundation’s Leadership Giving Circle is a group of more than 100 individuals, businesses, and community leaders exemplifying their commitment to and support of the mission of KCLS – to deliver free, open, and equal access to ideas and information to all members of our community. These donors, contributing $2,500 or more annually, are passionate and vital stewards of our libraries. Thank you to our 2023 Leadership Giving Circle Members.
Just as librarians are sticklers for accuracy, so are we. If we have made an error or omission, please let us know: info@kclsfoundation.org

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.
