consultants to conduct an updated cross-use study. The two library systems have
operated under a reciprocal agreement for many years, and there have been several
phases when the relationship of usage and cost imbalances have swung from one side
to the other. In the current agreement, SPL patrons cannot place holds on materials at
KCLS although they can check out items on the shelves. This restriction was put into
place to offset a cost imbalance identified in the 2005 study. Since then the range of
services provided by public libraries has continued to increase, requiring a fresh review.
The consultant selected to conduct an assessment of the overall reciprocal usage
situation will work with both libraries to propose an appropriate method to quantify the
financial impact of cross-usage and to provide recommendations based upon the results
of the analysis.

of that, 65% was downloaded directly to tablets and phones. Holds Placed increased 4%
System-wide and increased 1% year-to-date compared to the previous year. The Bellevue,
Enumclaw, Kenmore, Maple Valley, Renton and Skykomish Libraries all recorded circulation
increases in March.

Chief Hank Lipe. The 10,000 square foot library offers patrons a thoughtful place to read and
interact and connects them to their surroundings with enhanced views of Ober Park. During the
open house, residents enjoyed refreshments provided by the Friends of Vashon Library and a

one of 10 books the students read, spoke to the audience, and every team member
received an autographed copy generously provided by the KCLS Foundation. The
Grand Challenge is the culminating event of the Global Reading Challenge, which
kicked-off last October. More than 2,100 students from 61 schools across 18 school
districts participated in the program.

</span><span style="font-family: 'Calibri'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">library and information science were eligible. However,
scholarships are now available to staff pursing any
advanced degree. As in previous years, scholars will be
selected via a competitive application and interview
</span><br />

Director’s Report<br />
January 2014<br />
GOVERNMENT RELATIONS<br />
The current Legislative session will be a short one as it is the second year of the biennium. The Washington Library Association is hosting Library Legislative Day on Friday, January 24 and more than 30 advocates from KCLS have already registered. Although there isn’t much pending legislation that pertains to libraries, one bill that would increase funding for school libraries will be a primary talking point for library supporters. Another bill, House Bill 2522, would allow the King County Executive to participate in the selection of KCLS’ Library Director, but does not appear to have enough support to advance. It does, however, point to the need for library supporters to maintain a strong presence in Olympia to preserve the fabric and structure of independent public library districts. <br />
<br />
<br />
KCLS and Seattle Public Library (SPL) are in the process of reviewing the current cross-use agreement which has been in place between the two Systems since 2006. KCLS and SPL are working together to identify a consultant to develop a measurement system that takes into account all factors that potentially affect cross-use. The process could ultimately lead to a new agreement that is predicated on the idea that any cross-use discrepancy will be reconciled financially and not through a differentiation in service. KCLS and SPL could have a new draft agreement ready for review by their respective Boards in late 2014.<br />
KCLS was pleased to learn that Trustee Lucy Krakowiak was unanimously selected by her fellow council members to be the new Mayor of the City of Burien. While past KCLS Boards of Trustees have included city council members, judges, and mayors’ spouses, Lucy is the first sitting Mayor.<br />
<br />
OPERATIONS<br />
The eBook cost analysis project that KCLS is leading in conjunction with the Urban Libraries Council (ULC) received a strong show of support when 47 libraries across the United States and Canada agreed to participate in the project. eBook purchasing information from the respective libraries will be gathered and reported by the end of February, allowing for a broad analysis. In the meantime, several law firms have been contacted to determine whether there is interest in potentially representing public libraries in the United States and Canada on this issue.<br />
<br />
Staff has identified a potential site in a former retail space for a new 5,000 square foot East Hill of Kent Library. Lease terms are still being refined, but staff plans to present a site analysis at the February 26 Board meeting. The East Hill of Kent Library is the last scheduled project in KCLS’ 2004 Capital Bond program.<br />

In 2014, KCLS will partner with United Way of King County to engage in a new Convey project focused on the issue of hunger in King County. Launching in late February, the project will be a three-phase, ongoing project through 2014, engaging county residents in conversation around hunger and food insecurity and possibly including participation in a summer meal site program. Information forums will also be held at KCLS Libraries. Tying closely to this is KCLS’ food donation effort, which started in 2013 as part of A Place at the Table. Through that effort, KCLS collected more than 30,000 pounds of food that was distributed to local food banks. The food donation effort will continue in 2014 through KCLS’ Start to Fitness program.<br />
<br />
Linda Glenicki, Julie Brand and I will conduct the first round of interviews for a new Finance Director the week of January 27. The top two candidates will advance to a second round of interviews with Administrative Planning Team members and Business Office staff. The final decision will be made by Interim Director Julie Brand in consultation with Linda Glenicki and Human Resources Director Charlene Richards.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
OTHER<br />
A group from the Los Angeles Public Library Innovation Leadership Program (ILP) visited KCLS in mid-January to learn about innovative programming, service strategies and staff development initiatives at KCLS. The cohort met with Administrative Planning Team (APT) members, toured the Materials Distribution Services Center in Preston, and visited the Federal Way cluster to discuss implementation of KCLS’ new Services Strategy. The ILP is a mentoring program that pairs library managers with librarians-in-residence and is funded by the Los Angeles Public Library Foundation.<br />
<br />
The Aven Foundation awarded a $15,000 grant to the King County Library System Foundation for its Tukwila Library Community Mosaic Capital Campaign.<br />

<br />
FAREWELL<br />
Over the last few weeks, as I’ve begun to look ahead to my new job as CEO of the Calgary Public Library, many people have taken the time to let me know what a great library system KCLS has become over the years. I am honored by the comments, but I have one recurring thought. The success that KCLS has achieved during my 25 years with KCLS is a direct result of the hard work of a very talented and dedicated staff. In turn, their efforts have been bolstered by the Board of Trustees, KCLS Foundation, Library Advisory Boards and Friends of the Library who have volunteered countless hours to support KCLS’ mission.<br />
<br />
KCLS has had the good fortune to serve patrons who value their public library. It is undoubtedly the strong support that KCLS has received from the entire community that has ultimately set the stage for the extraordinary work of the King County Library System.<br />
<br />
As I come to the end of my 294th Director’s Report, I would like to thank everyone who has had a hand in our success. I will miss KCLS and this great community.<br />
<br />
Cheers,<br />
<br />

as I have accepted the position of CEO of the Calgary Public Library
in Alberta, Canada. Simultaneously, the Board announced the appointment
of Julie Brand, Community Relations and Marketing Director, as Interim
Library Director while the search for a new Director is underway.
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif";">I
have very mixed feelings about this transition. The Calgary Public
Library is located in a vibrant and growing community and the Library is
poised to be an integral part of the city’s future
development. I am honored to have the opportunity to play a role in
that. On the other hand, I am leaving the King County Library System
after 25 years of exciting growth and will miss all the relationships
that have developed over those years.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif";">By every account, KCLS is an amazingly successful organization. Even before being recognized as
<i>Library of the Year,</i> our patrons strongly endorsed
KCLS through their unparalleled use of our libraries and financial
support of our capital and operating budgets. Our community partners
confirmed that success by aligning
many of their programs and services with KCLS. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif";">I
want to take this opportunity to thank everyone at KCLS for letting me
be a part of this great Library System. I’d also like to recognize our
current and past Board members, KCLS Foundation
Board members, Library Advisory Board members, Friends of the Library,
and all the volunteers who have helped make KCLS what it is today.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif";">I
am lucky to have had a chance to be a part of this special organization
and am confident that KCLS will continue to be the talk of the town in

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 6.0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: .25in;">
In early November, the <b>City of Tukwila’s Board of Architectural Review</b> <b>
(BAR)</b> enthusiastically approved the design for the new Tukwila
Library, in December they approved the plans for the related Tukwila
Village project operated by the Senior Housing Assistance Group (SHAG).
KCLS and SHAG are now negotiating the final sales
price and apportionment of infrastructure costs. Construction will
likely begin in summer 2014.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 6.0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: .25in;">
King County Library System was a <b>Literacy*AmeriCorps</b> partner site
from 1994 until the program was discontinued in 2012 due to lack of
funding. Earlier this month, KCLS learned that federal funding
guidelines have changed and the Greater Pittsburgh Literacy
Council (formerly the lead agency of the program) is planning to apply
for a grant to renew the program. KCLS was contacted by the Director of
the Council and has expressed its interest in participating as a partner
site once again. The program, if refunded,
would not begin until fall 2014.</div>

<b><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">OPERATIONS<br />
</span></b>The KCLS Answer Line has been transformed into “<b>Ask KCLS.</b>”
Staff members moved from the Bellevue Library to the Service Center in
Issaquah on December 10 without interruption in service. Hours of
operation have been modified to reflect lower
demand for telephone assistance in the evenings and increasing demand
from online traffic during the day. New hours are <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_661703432" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">Monday</span></span> through <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_661703433" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">Saturday 10am-6pm</span></span> and <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_661703434" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">Noon-5pm</span></span> on Sundays<b><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;"></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 6.0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: .25in;">
Renovation of <b>Library Connection @ Crossroads</b> is almost finished.
The project is a complete refurbishment of the facility and includes
showcasing the operation of the Automated Materials Handling equipment
to the public. The front and back entrances
have also been upgraded to conform to new Mall standards. The Library
has been closed since the Bellevue Library garage opened in September
and is scheduled to re-open on <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_661703435" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">December 30</span></span>.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 6.0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: .25in;">
<b>Circulation</b> remains flat compared to2012. This still positions
KCLS to circulate more than 22 million items in 2013. Downloads
increased 41% year-to-date and accounted for more than 1.7 million uses.
The most notable upward trend was at the Bellevue
Library, which had an 18% increase in circulation over last year now
that the new parking garage has opened. Circulation at the Enumclaw
Library more than doubled in November compared to the same month last
year.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 6.0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: .25in;">
As was noted at last month’s Board meeting, Director of Finance <b>Linda Glenicki</b>
will be leaving KCLS early next year. Linda joined KCLS twelve years
ago after a very successful career at Microsoft and other private and
non-profit organizations. KCLS was
fortunate to have her talent and expertise during this important period
in the history of the System. KCLS has hired CFO Selections to help
KCLS identify qualified candidates for this key position and the
recruitment process is well underway.

</b>On December 5, a crowd of more than 700 packed Town Hall in Seattle to hear Ree Drummond,
<i>New York Times</i> bestselling author of <i>The Pioneer Woman Cooks </i>and <i>
The Pioneer Woman Cooks: Food from My Frontier. </i>Ree’s website —<a href="http://thepioneerwoman.com/" target="_blank">thepioneerwoman.com</a>

hosts a cooking show on the Food

This <b>Meet the Author </b>event was part of KCLS’ adult program
series, A Place at the Table and was hosted in partnership with
University Books. KCLS’ Public Programming Coordinator Deborah
Schneider, who introduced the event, received enthusiastic applause
when she mentioned the food donation component of A Place at the Table
(APATT). Patron gifts of food now total over 28,000 lbs. which has been
shared with KCLS partner agencies Food Lifeline and Hopelink. Many who
attended remained for nearly three hours
to get their books signed and have a photo taken with the well-known
author and Food Network celebrity. It was an exciting conclusion to a
year of programs, promotions and events around APATT.</div>

Microsoft IT Academy</a> was held at the Bellevue Library on Tuesday,
November 12. The Microsoft IT Academy offers 250 different online
courses ranging from basic computer literacy skills to advanced network
systems training and is free to anyone with a library

<b>OPERATIONS<br />
</b>KCLS has been working with <a href="http://www.navigant.com/" target="_blank">Navigant</a>,
a forensic accounting firm to identify the cost to KCLS of purchasing
downloadable eBooks at the “library price.” In researching the issue,
Navigant has found that some publishers
are selling eBooks to public libraries at prices that are higher than
what retailers pay. KCLS will share its findings at the
<a href="http://www.urbanlibraries.org/" target="_blank">Urban Libraries Council</a>
Partners Conference being held November 12-14 in Seattle. Navigant
provided their services pro bono and is willing to work with other
public libraries in an effort to find a legal remedy.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 27.0pt; margin-right: .25in;">
KCLS will launch a newly designed website on <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_7490812" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">December 17</span></span>
in conjunction with the launch of a new catalog search powered by
BiblioCommons software. BiblioCommons will be an add-on to the
Evergreen catalog database and is used for the public catalog by several
major libraries, including <a href="http://seattle.bibliocommons.com/dashboard" target="_blank">
Seattle Public Library</a>, <a href="http://www.chipublib.org/search/catalog/" target="_blank">Chicago Public Library</a> and
<a href="http://catalog.nypl.org/" target="_blank">New York Public Library</a>. Staff testing has found that it returns more accurate and efficient search results. Also in December, KCLS will be moving
<b>Answer Line</b> staff from the Bellevue Library to the KCLS Service
Center in Issaquah. The group will join Virtual Library Services and
will focus on providing support to patrons using KCLS technologies and
digital content. The new name for the service
will be called <b>Ask KCLS</b>.</div>

</b>The 2014 public budget hearings were held November 12-14 and the workshops for
<b>Library Advisory Boards </b>that preceded two of the four budget
hearings were well attended. Groups worked on processes to assess the

to meet those needs. KCLS will be encouraging

but KCLS celebrated reading and a certain galaxy far, far away for

building stations, a Star Wars storytelling parody featuring Charlie
Williams,
the Noiseguy, and photo opportunities with members of the Alpha Base
Rebel Legion and the Garrison Titan of the 501st Legion. DK Publishing
and many Friends groups provided free books for giveaways and several
libraries used stand-up Star Wars character displays
provided by Children’s Services. Included among the nearly 1,800 people
who attended the 12 events were many dads who couldn’t resist the
combination Legos/Star Wars theme.

permit and land use requirements for four KCLS construction projects
located in unincorporated King County come under the jurisdiction of the
King County Department of Development
and Environmental Services (DDES). Facilities Director Greg Smith has
met with DDES Deputy Director Jim Chen along with architects from the
Skyway, White Center, Fairwood and Vashon Library projects. It was clear
from the meeting that the County’s budget problems
have severely limited staffing levels and KCLS’ ability to facilitate
their library permitting process. Mr. Chen has agreed to set up an
official contact person for KCLS. The DDES also prioritized the permits
needed for each current project, identifying in
order the fire permit for the Vashon Library; building permit for the
Skyway Library; fire permit for the Fairwood Library and the building
permit early next year for the White Center Library. Based on that
order, KCLS expects to be able to finish the Vashon
Library by the end of the year and go out to bid on the Skyway Library
in November. KCLS will be presenting an update on both Renton projects
to the Renton City Council on November 18.</span></div>

fleet of <b>Mobile Learning Lab</b> vehicles are back on the road with
increased connectivity and new servers to support the vehicles’ on-board
software. Library staff will be able to bring more technology
related-programs to their community partners. Kingsgate
Library staff is planning to visit a neighborhood park with teens to
conduct a count of birds and will then use a Mobile Learning Lab to
connect to the Cornell University Urban Bird Count Center to report
their findings. Library2Go vehicles, which visited
an average 165 community sites per month over the summer, have also
been upgraded.

memoirs. Keynote speaker Tames Alan presented “Dining at Downton Abbey –
A Trial by Fork.” The KCLS Foundation hosts the brunch for 100+ guests
with arrangements made by Community Relations.
Outstanding members of Friends of the Library organizations were

<b>Woodmont Library Garden</b> had another successful year. Programs
for children included how to build a composting bin, complete with
worms, and an informative presentation about bees and honey, as well as
several planting and harvesting parties. New this
year were several programs for adults, including Kim Richmond, from the
Des Moines Sonju Community Garden, and Tom Watson, EcoConsumer for the
Seattle Times. This picture was taken during a visit to the garden for
bean picking at the end of an Infant / Toddler
Story Time. Special thanks to the Friends of the Woodmont Library, who
sponsored the garden programs again this year.</div>

As a result of the many partnerships King County Library System has
developed over the years, KCLS will have an important role in the
implementation of the new
<b>Affordable Care Act</b>. As previously reported, the <a href="http://www.wahbexchange.org/" target="_blank">
Washington Health Benefit Exchange</a> selected <a href="http://www.kingcounty.gov/healthservices/health.aspx" target="_blank">
Public Health Seattle-King County</a> (PHSKC) as a lead assistance
provider to ensure that all King County residents enroll in qualified
health insurance plans. Representatives from PHSKC will provide
one-on-one assistance in twenty-nine KCLS libraries during
open enrollment from <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_677154631" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">October 1, 2013 through March 31, 2014</span></span>. Much like the rollout of the
<a href="https://www.washingtonconnection.org/home/" target="_blank">State’s benefit portal</a>
a few years ago, the State of Washington and other public agencies turn
to the public library to get the word out to communities across the
County about important new services.

KCLS once again rules the world of library “sortation.” For the third year, KCLS <b>
Materials Distribution Services</b> <b>(MDS)</b> staff in Preston
competed against their counterparts at the New York Public Library
(NYPL) to see which System could sort the most items in one hour. Both
Library Systems use the same
<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4fq3CWsyde4" target="_blank">Automated Materials Handling</a>
equipment and in fact NYPL studied KCLS’ sorting installation in
preparation for this year’s contest. KCLS won the contest in 2011 and
NYPL won in 2012. I am pleased to report
that with a production hour of 13,122 items, KCLS has won back the

Good news on the technology front. KCLS’ <a href="http://www.kcls.org/library2go/" target="_blank">
<b>mobile outreach vehicles</b></a> are being refitted with hardware and
software that will vastly improve connectivity. This will yield
immediate results as the Mobile Learning Labs will begin to be deployed
next month. It will also improve the ability to
check out materials and register new patrons on Library2Go vehicles.</div>

<b>Circulation</b> in the month of August increased 3%. The new Bellevue
Library garage is having an impact as circulation at that Library
increased 12%. More importantly, the number of items checked out
(119,000) is getting close to the 125,000 figure that
was common before the garage project reduced patron’s access to the
building. In the same cluster, circulation at the Lake Hills Library
increased 30% due, in part, to the closure of Library Connection @
Crossroads for renovations. There was also a 47% increase
in eBook downloads, which is a trend that has remained consistent over
the last year. The number of holds placed is running at the same level
as last year and indicates that patrons are becoming more comfortable
placing holds on eBooks.</div>

The following announcement went out to all KCLS staff on Wednesday, September 18 regarding the new
<a href="http://www.kcls.org/foundation/" target="_blank"><b>KCLS Foundation</b></a><b> Director</b>:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .75in; margin-right: 1.0in;">
<i>It is not often that we have a change in the membership of KCLS’
Administrative Planning Team (APT). However as you know, Jeanne Thorsen,
KCLS Foundation Executive Director is retiring at the end of September.
As you also know, much of what KCLS does and
can do is shaped by the ability to raise money and seek partners for
our work. The KCLS Foundation Executive Director is critical to both and
Jeanne has played an important role with APT for nearly 14 years.</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .75in; margin-right: 1.0in;">
<i>There was an extensive recruitment effort to find Jeanne’s successor.
Members from both the KCLS Foundation Board and Administrative Planning
Team interviewed four very well qualified candidates. From that pool, I
am pleased to announce that Elizabeth Castleberry
has been selected as the next Executive Director of the KCLS
Foundation.</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .75in; margin-right: 1.0in;">
<i>Beth has 18 years of experience in fundraising and development. Most
recently, she has served as the Chief Development Officer for Global
Partnership, a Seattle-based non-profit that expands opportunities for
people living in poverty. She also held development
positions at the Washington State University Foundation, Seattle
Symphony, Junior Achievement and served as Deputy Director of
Development at Seattle Public Library Foundation from 1999 to 2004.</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .75in; margin-right: 1.0in;">
<i>In her spare time, Beth is a board member for a number of outstanding
community organizations. She was a founding board member of the Seattle
Animal Shelter Foundation and, perhaps most importantly, is a 15-year
veteran of the Lit Chicks book club.
</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .75in; margin-right: 1.0in;">
<i>In order to wrap-up commitments in her current position, Beth will join KCLS <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_677154632" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">November 1</span></span>
at which point she will plan to visit as many libraries and departments
as possible prior to the end of the year. As she makes her rounds, I am
sure she would love to
hear any ideas or suggestions from staff members. </i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .75in; margin-right: .5in;">
</div>
<i>Beth
joins a great team and an outstanding Board that has a great history of
success. Please join me in welcoming her to the KCLS Foundation.</i><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: .5in;">
The KCLS Foundation made a strategic donation that has helped KCLS greatly enhance the
<b>“Let’s Read”</b> program. As mentioned in previous reports, KCLS is
partnering with several cities and school districts to send library
staff to summer nutrition sites at schools, housing complexes and
community centers in south King County. Occasionally,
staff is able to take Library2Go vehicles. However, since many kids
don’t have their library cards and the technology (at present) makes it
difficult to connect to our circulation system, the kids can’t checkout
library materials. The money donated by the
Foundation provides books for a wide range of age groups that staff
will give away at the end of the “Let’s Read” summer programs. For many
kids, these books are the first they’ve ever owned and have helped
connect them to reading and the library.<b><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;"></span></b></div>

The Library is very different from other KCLS libraries. High windows
on the southeast side of the Library step down to a band of windows
along the bottom perimeter
of the building. The building is clad in metal that will eventually
develop a weathered, steel patina. The Library is the first in the
system to utilize new shelving that incorporates touch screen access to
eBooks and face out display of print books. The Children’s
collection will also be part of a pilot that organizes fiction and
non-fiction books around various child friendly themes rather than to
titles by author or the Dewey Decimal system.

<b>Circulation</b> for
the month of July increased 1% over last year. Holds placed have been
rising System-wide over the last few months and were only down 1%
compared to 2012. Circulation of Choice Reads will
likely be about 3% of KCLS’ overall circulation this year. Choice Reads
is KCLS’ collection of current paperback books that are located near
the entrances of all community libraries. The collections are initially
assigned to specific libraries and cannot be
reserved. Over the past year, Choice Reads circulation has declined.
Collections Management Services staff is constructing various models for
Choice Reads collections that will allow community library staff to
have some choice in the type of materials selected
for these popular collections.</div>

<a href="http://libraries.pewinternet.org/2013/06/25/younger-americans-library-services/" target="_blank">
Pew Foundation</a> reported that young people in America, and especially
teens, are reading more. Earlier this year, Publishers Weekly reported
on the rapid growth in publishing of young adult literature.
Approximately 12% of KCLS’ collection budget is allocated
to teen books, which has an annual turnover of 4.5 per item compared
to 3.77 for adult fiction.</div>

<b>GOVERNMENT RELATIONS</b><br />
After a contentious process that required reconvening twice, the State
legislature concluded its current session with passage of a budget that
includes something good for libraries. Through a partnership with
Microsoft, the
<b>Washington State Library</b> will receive funding to offer Washington
residents access to Microsoft IT Academy (ITA) courses, without charge,
through their local public libraries. The Washington Microsoft ITA will
provide a wide range of Microsoft online
courses, many of which can prepare individuals who are seeking
employment in high tech positions. Microsoft ITA is currently available
through school districts in the state but Washington is only the second
state in the country to offer ITA courses through
its public libraries. <span style="font-size: 12.0pt;"></span></div>

<b>OPERATIONS</b><br />
The Washington Health Benefit Exchange selected <b>Public Health Seattle-King County</b>
(PHSKC) as a lead assistance provider to ensure that all King County
residents enroll in qualified health insurance plans established under
the Affordable Care Act. Similar
to tax assistance programs that have been offered successfully over the
years, representatives from PHSKC will provide one-on-one assistance in
twenty-nine KCLS libraries during open enrollment from <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_35842473" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">October 1, 2013 through March 31, 2014</span></span>. </div>

The
<b>Paul G. Allen Family Foundation</b> has awarded the KCLS Foundation a $100,000
<i>Let’s Read: Connecting with Children in Their Communities </i>grant.
Based on its collaboration with the Community Center for Education
Results (CCER) to improve academic achievement of students in south King
County, the grant will allow KCLS to extend its
participation in the Let’s Read! program to north King County in 2014.
So far this summer, KCLS has visited over 50 Let’s Read! lunch sites
connecting with children and families who are not currently visiting
south end libraries.</div>

<b>Jeanne Thorsen</b> has announced that she will retire in the fall.
Starting as a page for the Spokane Public Library, Jeanne has worked in
libraries since she was 16. In 1983, she joined KCLS as Public
Information Coordinator until her move to the Foundation
as Executive Director in 1999. Jeanne has been extremely successful in
all her roles. She worked on the 1988 bond issue that funded
construction of most of the libraries in the System and was the driving
force behind many of the cities that annexed to KCLS
in the 1990s. During her tenure, the Foundation has raised millions of
dollars in support of KCLS, including construction of the Library
Connection @ Southcenter and the addition of a Community Mosaic space at
the soon-to-be constructed Tukwila Library. Through
it all, she has cultivated a relationship between KCLS and the KCLS
Foundation that is unique among library foundations for the positive
connections she established with library constituents at all levels of
the organization. Jeanne will be missed by all of
us at KCLS.</span><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif";"></span></div>

<a href="http://www.highlineschools.org/Pages/Home.aspx" target="_blank">Highline School District</a>.
Public Services Director Denise Siers and I had an opportunity to meet
with new Superintendent Susan Enfield who recently served as Interim
Superintendent for Seattle Public
Schools. She discussed her interest in early childhood development and
invited KCLS to participate in the District’s ongoing meetings with day
care providers in the area.

<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">KCLS is close to finalizing an agreement with the <a href="http://www.ci.bothell.wa.us/" target="_blank">
City of Bothell</a> to modify the entrance to the parking lot of the
Bothell Library in order to accommodate several important community
developments related to the City’s Downtown Revitalization Plan. The
City is interested in day lighting Horse Creek, which
runs next to the Bothell Library, and adding a pedestrian bridge to
access the Library. As a result, the Library will lose some existing
parking spaces and the City has agreed to swap some parking spaces in an
adjacent lot. The Downtown Revitalization Plan
calls for the realignment of the Bothell Highway (SR 522) along the
Sammamish Slough and termination of Main Street at the Library.</span></div>

(CCER) has committed
to raising the reading scores of children in the Auburn, Federal Way,
Highline, Kent, Renton and Tukwila school districts by asking parents of
kindergarteners, first and second graders to sign a Summer Reading
contract and read to their children through the
summer. Each child will receive a packet that contains a KCLS Summer
Reading Log matched to the closest KCLS library within their district, a
“Let’s Read!” refrigerator magnet and a door hanger reading tip sheet. A
total of 10,200 Summer Reading Logs are being
printed for the program. CCER hopes to be able to track the number of
children who participated in the program in each school and district and
provide the data to KCLS.

<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif";">KCLS saw a healthy 5% increase in
<b>circulation</b> during the month of April, which made up for previous
months’ decreases. Year-to-date, System-wide circulation is now even
with 2012. Circulation at the Enumclaw Library continues to grow but,
more importantly, the percentage of its circulation
from items placed on hold is up 26%. This puts the Library on par with
the rest of the System and indicates that Enumclaw residents are
availing themselves of the entire KCLS collection.

project. KCLS held a public meeting on March 26 to present the design
for
the new library over the Cedar River. Even though some of the 150
attendees objected to breakout stations, staff gathered good input from
those who participated as well as from the audience comment period at
the end of the meeting. Miller-Hull architects identified
some of the main concerns raised by the public and addressed them in a
follow-up presentation to the Renton City Council on April 15. Council
members responded well to the design changes and the City has indicated
it will consider increasing the budget to
build a larger library that is closer to the size of the existing
building. It is anticipated that the City Council will make a decision
on the schematic design and project budget at its meeting on Monday,
April 29.

<b>From the Director:</b> The KCLS <b><span>2012 Year in Review</span></b><span> </span>marks another year of achievements, recognition and outcomes for KCLS. It was fun to share those accomplishments
with over 500 guests at the Literary Lions Gala on March 23<sup>rd</sup>.
Along with an impressive list of award-winning libraries, the passion
that all of you have for making sure KCLS’ programs and services touch
everyone from preschoolers to immigrants
is compelling – and helped the KCLS Foundation raise over $200,000. In
the words of keynote speaker Dennis Lehane, “The best thing about the
library is that it tells everyone in the community that they matter.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Kudos to everyone in the KCLS family for a fabulous
year. I hope you will enjoy looking back on 2012 knowing that what you
do makes a difference in the lives of the people we serve.</div>

<span>The King County Library System’s <b>
2012 Year in Review</b> was recently completed. Please take a moment to
review the report, which highlights events and achievements from the
past year. The report details KCLS’ commitment to aligning services and
staffing to meet current patron needs while
preparing for the future. </span>A few highlights from 2012 include
more eBooks being downloaded from KCLS than any other public library
system in the country and the System expanding to 48 libraries following
the annexation of Enumclaw.
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<span>Once again, KCLS demonstrated its
commitment to the community by remaining relevant to the lives of
patrons. Thank you for your support of the King County Library System.

<b>Washington Library Association’s Legislative Day</b> on February 15.
Of the nearly 100 participants, more than 30 were KCLS staff, Friends
and Advisory Board Members. The biggest issue was an offer from
Microsoft to make their IT Academy available to patrons
of all Washington Public Libraries. The Academy provides in-depth
technical training and can help prepare participants for good paying
jobs. It is currently available through academic institutions around
the U.S. and public libraries in Hawaii. The cost
to the state would be a little over $1 million and could help fill the
nearly 7,000 technical positions in Washington State that are currently
unfilled for lack of qualified candidates. In her role of overseeing
the Washington State Library, newly elected
Secretary of State Kim Wyman is taking the lead on this project.</span></div>

voters to annex the unincorporated area to Burien, parties are being
called together again for a mediated discussion regarding future
governance and service provision for the area’s residents. Alan Kirtley
from the University of Washington Law School will
lead the discussion. The group will meet on February 27 and possibly
in early March if further discussions are needed.</span></div>

than 200 magazine titles. There is no limit to the number of

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;">Progress
continues slowly on plans for the Renton libraries. Developing plans to
remodel the existing Renton Library that
spans the Cedar River, a protected salmon stream, is challenging.
Architects have been working on a design for the library that can use as
much of the current infrastructure as possible without any renovations
below or on the riverbank which will make the
permitting process much simpler. </span></div>

have yet to finalize a purchase and sale agreement. However, it has
been determined that the new library project will be completely separate
from the housing development project, and once the survey and lot lines
are established KCLS and THA Architects can
finish the design. </span></div>

launched the New Year with great news of a $100,000 grant from the Paul

Foundation is seeking to raise $1 million to fund an additional 2,000

Library, bringing the total size of the library to 10,000 square feet.
This grant brings the total to $231,000 raised to date for the project.

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;">KCLS has begun piloting the sale and circulation of
<b>reusable book bags</b> at libraries in the Kent and Bellevue clusters and patron response has been positive.

Authority, which is the lead agency, conducts a count of homeless people
every January but the count has never identified how many teens are
included.

Reynolds, City Council members and all five Library Advisory Board
members were on hand for the celebration and the Library was filled with
local patrons who seemed pleased with the recent

<br />
Deborah Sandler, from the Woodmont staff, will receive the 2012 Catalyst Award for the Woodmont garden. The Catalyst Award is given for the best innovative program of the year, selected by a committee of her peers. “The Committee was particularly impressed by the scope of the services that were developed around the garden.

SYSTEM HIGHLIGHTS<br />
<br />
FROM THE NOVEMBER DIRECTOR’S REPORT<br />
<br />
OPERATIONS<br />
<br />
In the midst of election week, KCLS held four public budget hearings and more than 75 people attended. Library Advisory Board forums were held in advance of two of the hearings and participants had a chance to learn more about CommunityConnect, the web-based tool KCLS is using to capture demographics and lifestyle patterns that staff can use to develop programs and services that better serve the interests of patrons.<br />
<br />
KCLS continues to lead other public libraries across the United States in the number of eBook downloads. During recent contract negotiations, KCLS learned that OverDrive, the company that provides most eBook content to public libraries, is making progress with several publishers to overcome their resistance to sell digital content to libraries.<br />
<br />
GOVERNMENT RELATIONS<br />
<br />
Voters decided on two measures on the November 7 ballot that had implications for KCLS. Residents of the West Hill area, otherwise known as Skyway, rejected annexation to the City of Renton by a 56% margin. A second public meeting for the Skyway Library is scheduled for Thursday, December 6.<br />
<br />
The measure to annex the North Highline unincorporated area to the City of Burien failed by an even wider margin of 65%. After the election, KCLS contacted the City of Seattle to gauge the City’s interest in the area. Mayor McGinn has toured North Highline but the annexation issue has not surfaced as a priority for his administration. Given these developments, staff will present recommendations for library service in North Highline to the Board of Trustees in November.<br />
<br />
OTHER<br />
<br />
KCLS was notified last week that it was named a “Five Star Library” in the 2012 Library Journal Index of Public Library Service. Library Journal recognizes those libraries whose levels of service delivery distinguish them among their peers. Libraries are divided into peer groups by expenditure category. In the over $30 million category, four other libraries in addition to KCLS received five-star ratings: Cuyahoga County Public Library, Seattle Public Library, Multnomah County Library and Columbus Metropolitan Library. KCLS has not received “star” recognition in past years because some of the data used in the index had not been provided by KCLS in past statistical surveys.<br />

<b>annexation</b> measures which will have implications for KCLS’
Capital Improvement Plan. North Highline residents will decide whether
or not to annex to the City of Burien. If the measure passes, the
vicinity around the White Center and Boulevard Park Libraries
will clearly be in KCLS’ service area. Residents of the West Hill area
of Renton will also be voting on annexation to the City of Renton. If
that measure passes, the new Skyway Library would likely be permitted by
the City of Renton rather than King County.

disabled adults. Another group of 54 helped
out at the Serenity Equine Rescue and Rehabilitation farm in Maple
Valley, which is dedicated to the rescue and recovery of horses. Day of
Caring is the annual kick-off event for United Way’s Workplace Giving

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt;">It is a sign of the times that the government documents collection was weeded at the
<b>Bellevue Library</b>. All of the materials have been replaced with
more accessible and searchable online resources. At the same time, the
weeding freed up enough space on the third floor of the Library to add
tables and seating for fifteen. Staff did a great
job of shifting over 2,000 shelves to open up the space.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt;">The
Kirkland Library staff has been working in partnership with the City of
Kirkland to gather public input regarding the use of a portion
of the Burlington Northern Santa Fe rail corridor that runs through the
City. Through a KCLS civic engagement initiative called “Convey,” the
Library has fielded about 600 comments and suggestions. The project
culminated with a public event at the Kirkland
Performing Arts Center, which included presentations and discussion
about the various possibilities. Kirkland Mayor Joan McBride commented
that it was one of the best public meetings she has ever attended.

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt;">Perkins+Will Architects and KCLS staff have been working closely with the Tukwila Village developer to determine the property
lines for the new <b>Tukwila Library</b>. The first public meeting to
present design plans was held on August 23. The KCLS Foundation is
raising approximately $1 million to fund a portion of the building and
Foundation Board members are hoping to enlist elected
officials and City staff to serve on the campaign advisory committee.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt;">In early August, KCLS was contacted by the Sammamish Reporter Newspaper about a tip they had received about one of KCLS’
<b>outreach vehicles </b>being placed out of service due to a recent
change in the law that now requires KCLS drivers to have a Commercial
Drivers License (CDL) to operate the vehicle. KCLS was in the process of
appealing the licensing requirement based on
the vehicle’s weight and passenger limits or exploring other options
for the vehicle. KOMO radio picked up the story and characterized it as a
decision by the Washington State Department of Licensing that
ultimately curtailed library services. Based on subsequent
publicity, the Washington State Patrol reviewed KCLS’ request for
reconsideration of the licensing requirement and ultimately agreed that
it does not require a CDL</span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS","sans-serif";">.

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt;">Over
the years, staff has observed that parents and children have had a
difficult time accessing materials in the children’s areas of the
library. KCLS responded by shelving books by category; for example,
picture books, easy readers, series books and easy non-fiction. Many of
these items are shelved spine out, which has the disadvantage of
obscuring cover artwork and segregating natural subject
groupings. KCLS has begun to explore <b>alternative shelving concepts</b>
by conducting focus groups of parents and caregivers in Kirkland,
Burien and Federal Way. Some interesting themes are starting to emerge
which could have implications for the way materials
are arranged in KCLS’ libraries and the kind of shelving used to
display and store materials.

KCLS is hopeful that the Newcastle Library will open in October but it
is not possible to confirm an opening date until glass is installed on
the front of the building. The Federal Way 320th Library closed on
Saturday, July 21 and construction is anticipated
to take one year. </span><span style="font-size: 10.5pt;"></span></div>

<b>Washington Library Association Legislative Committee</b> is following
the work of a committee that was established at the end of the last
legislative session to study the efficiency and financing of local
taxing districts. While library taxing districts
do not appear to be a focus of the study, it is still possible that
public libraries, their governance and tax support could still come
under scrutiny. Representative Springer and Representative Ross Hunter,
House Budget Chair and sponsor of the study, represent
KCLS communities. Both are supporters of KCLS and KCLS will keep in
touch with them throughout the life of the committee. The Joint Select
Committee is scheduled to issue preliminary findings before the
Legislature reconvenes in January.</span></div>

later in the week were able to reconcile the youth with his family.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;">The
answer is: very well, with peas, pumpkins and potatoes growing bigger
and better every day! Lettuce, spinach, arugula, and radishes have
already been harvested and given to families who attend library
programs. Don’t miss two garden programs coming up in
July: “<i>Worm Bins and Food Composting</i>,” presented by King County Solid Waste Division, on July 12 at 1pm, and “<i>What’s the Buzz About? Meet</i>
<i>an Urban Beekeeper</i>” on July 17, at 1pm. Both programs are for children and families.</span><br />

<b>Let’s Read</b> program, which has children’s librarians from Kent,
Des Moines and Woodmont visiting “free lunch” sites at parks and school,
bringing food for the mind with the library summer reading program.
Selected sites are: Chestnut Ridge Park (Kent),
Field House Park (Des Moines), Parkside Elementary (Des Moines), Meadow

and Morrill Meadows Park (Kent).</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;">In addition, Des Moines Library is involved with a program called “<b>Summer Boost</b>,” partnering with the Puget Sound Educational Service District. The focus is to help get

basic principles that would give the public better and less cumbersome
access to eBooks while lifting restrictions that limit what libraries
can offer. KCLS has also joined another consortium
of public libraries that is looking at establishing a formal
organization to develop an official strategy to ensure public access to
all commercial digital content. A letter-writing campaign launched by
KCLS volunteers received national attention and many

<b>Tukwila Library</b> received a timely and generous boost from the
KCLS Foundation when Board members voted unanimously to fund an
additional 2,000-square-feet of space to bring the facility up to a
10,000-square-foot library. KCLS’ Capital Bond program had
been revised to include an 8,000-square-foot library, but the Tukwila
City Council wanted assurance that the new library would be
10,000-square-feet before they could agree to a term sheet including
property acquisition and infrastructure costs. With the Foundation’s
support, KCLS was able to provide that assurance. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt;">Director of Public Services Holly Koelling and staff met with members of a group called
<b>“KCLS Parents for Porn-Free Computers.”</b> The group’s
representative addressed the Board of Trustees a few months ago
regarding concerns over Internet access at KCLS libraries, including
what appears to them to be the inconsistent manner in which staff
resolves inadvertent viewing conflicts, availability of privacy screens
and civility of patrons’ interaction with staff. The group offered
thoughtful insights and shared meaningful concerns and staff was able to
address many of their issues. Other topics,
including the use of imbedded monitors, guidelines for calling police
and additional signage regarding parental responsibilities warrant
further discussion. Staff will follow up at a later date.

libraries. KCLS is providing publishers’ contact
information and suggested that letter-writers send copies to Washington
State legislators. In Federal Way, the Korean American Parents
Association was honored for volunteering over 2,000 hours as Study Zone
tutors. Volunteer recognition events were also held
at the Lake Forest Park, Newport Way and Fairwood Libraries. KCLS

New York Public Library prevailed over KCLS in the second annual “Great

trophy will be shipped to New York along with

</span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt;">for
renovating the current building located over the Cedar River. Cost
estimates to construct a new library on the former Big 5 site will be
completed by Miller-Hull Architects by
the end of May, but are already showing signs of surpassing the budget
which calls into question how much it will cost to renovate a larger
building over a river. KCLS has typically encountered higher costs per
square foot for renovation than for new construction.

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt;">A public meeting on May 3 for the new
<b>Renton Highlands Library</b> was well-attended and the design plans
presented at last month’s meeting to the Board of Trustees received
favorable reviews. An issue remains whether the Renton Housing
Authority’s developer will provide the underground parking
for the apartment units and the Library. For a variety of reasons, the
developer now proposes to bifurcate the project and provide only a
shared driveway to the under-building parking. KCLS is considering this
latest proposal. While allowing library construction
to happen faster, KCLS would incur all of the infrastructure costs.
This would add to the total project costs for the City of Renton.

take over operation of the <b>Enumclaw Library</b> on June 1. As with
the Renton Libraries two years ago, the transition will take place
gradually over the next few months and will consist of building and
services upgrades, including technology, collections,
furniture, staffing and hours of operation. KCLS staff met with current
Enumclaw Library staff shortly after the election was certified to
discuss transition plans.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt;">The KCLS Foundation is applying for a grant from the Allen Foundation to secure additional funds for the
<b>Tukwila Library</b> project. KCLS has been working with City of
Tukwila officials to resolve outstanding issues over the purchase price
of the land where the Library will be located. KCLS initially intended
to lease space and budgeted for tenant improvements
only. After the Tukwila Village development stalled, KCLS offered to
purchase a portion of the property and construct a stand-alone library.
In order for the project to move forward, KCLS requests that the City
agree to the budget targets that now include
property acquisition and shared infrastructure costs, or alternatively
lease the land to KCLS for a nominal fee and retain the property rights
if the Library ceases to operate or relocates. The Tukwila City Council
meets on May 21 and staff hopes to report
some news by the next Board meeting.</span></div>

Library Garden Planting was a huge success! The sun shone on Planting
Day, April 21, and about 75 children and parents participated in the
planting. Now the
tiny plants—radishes, lettuce, and peas-- are popping up in the 4 x 10
foot garden plot on the north end of the library property.

next program in the season of events is a Library Garden Craft Night,
scheduled for May 29, at 7pm. The next planting party will be on
Saturday, June 2. Come take a
look at the garden! A special thanks to the Woodmont Friends, who are
sponsoring the garden programs.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"; font-size: 11pt;">Each
night, there are up to 1,000 young people in the Seattle area who have
no place to sleep. Many have fled abusive homes, been kicked out,
or cannot be kept by their families. Two years ago, Councilmember Kathy
Lambert asked if KCLS would be interested in participating in a
national program called
<b>“Safe Place”</b> which helps connect young people in crisis with emergency shelter and counseling. Participating organizations display
<i>Safe Place</i> window clings indicating the facility is a safe haven
where youth can go to seek assistance and wait for help to arrive. Youth
find out about the program through school and community outreach. Safe
Place is run by Youth Care in partnership
with King County Metro, Auburn Youth Resources and Friends of Youth and
is currently offered in 40 states. KCLS will be joining other community
partners as a Safe Place to help ensure youth in crisis are connected
with the people and resources they need.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"; font-size: 11pt;">KCLS is gaining recognition as an important agency in its efforts to improve
<b>school readiness and early literacy</b>. Library2Go<b> </b>is now
visiting over 40 percent of all registered home day care centers in its
service area. Starting in May, staff will offer more activities geared
toward improving preschoolers’ reading readiness.
This effort is in addition to the “Let’s Read” project that KCLS is
launching in partnership with the Community Center for Education Results
(CCER) to encourage summer reading among low income families.

of KCLS’ collections
management operations will be completed in time for KCLS’ new Evergreen
developer, Catalyst, to begin work on key software improvements in the
areas of selection and order, and cataloging and processing. Catalyst
will spend the next ten weeks using an agile
software development process, involving sprints of rapid development
and user feedback. During this initial engagement, KCLS will assess
whether Catalyst’s development process is efficient and effective, and
if so, retain the firm to develop further software
enhancements of KCLS’ catalog. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"; font-size: 11pt;">As reported at last month’s Board meeting, KCLS’ news
<b>Social Media</b> team has already generated significant social
networking traffic. In the first half of April, Twitter re-tweets
increased from 80 to 95 and Facebook ‘Likes’ were more than four times
higher than the entire month of March. Social media analytics

The Civil War in Washington Territory held at libraries throughout the

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"; font-size: 11pt;">Last month, the
<b>Renton City Council</b> voted to relocate the Renton Library, but has
since decided to put a measure on the August 7 ballot to allow citizens
to weigh in on the issue. The City has already issued construction
bonds, purchased a site and incurred several
hundred thousand dollars of design costs. At the April City Council
meeting, KCLS expressed a number of concerns with the current site,
including reservations about the City’s ability to get necessary permits
to renovate the building over the Cedar River.
KCLS also questioned the City’s estimated costs to renovate the
existing building, which are not in line with costs KCLS has incurred
for its own recently renovated libraries. KCLS has anticipated that the
new Renton and Renton Highlands Libraries will be
substantially completed by 2014 and will continue to move forward with
the design process.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"; font-size: 11pt;">Initial election returns as of April 19 show that the measure to annex the
<b>City of Enumclaw</b> to KCLS is ahead by only 14 votes with 36% of
the votes counted. If the measure passes, KCLS will assume
responsibility for library operations in June.

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"; font-size: 11pt;">The ballot measure by the
<b>City of Bothell</b> to annex a portion of unincorporated Snohomish
County is failing by 63%. The City was making a second attempt at
annexation after the first measure failed in November. The annexation
would have generated up to $1.5 million additional
revenue to KCLS.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"; font-size: 11pt;">As anticipated, the
<b>Burien City Council</b> voted in favor of placing annexation of
unincorporated North Highline on the November ballot. The KCLS Board of
Trustees voted to postpone capital improvements in the North Highline
service area until the annexation issue is resolved.
In the meantime, KCLS is focused on negotiations with the <b>City of Tukwila</b> for the Tukwila Library project.

including King County Executive Dow Constantine (James R. Ellis
Leadership Award), Bellevue City Councilmember Grant Degginger (Public

<b>Take time to READ</b> presentation was well received by those in
attendance at the Public Library Association Conference in Philadelphia.
The Independence Public Library in Kansas, named 2012 Best Small
Library in the United States, will launch its own book
cover walking tour and KCLS expects to hear that more libraries will be
adopting elements of the program as well. As the saying goes, imitation
is the highest form of flattery.</span></div>

SYSTEM HIGHLIGHTS<br />
<br />
FROM THE MARCH DIRECTOR’S REPORT<br />
<br />
OPERATIONS<br />
KCLS has engaged Point B Consulting to improve workflow processes in the Selection & Order and Cataloging & Processing departments. Staff has already determined ways in which to substantially reduce the number of days between the point at which a materials request is received by KCLS and the time it takes for those items to reach a patron. They have also identified 53 different software improvements that could significantly improve the efficiency of the entire collection development process.<br />
<br />
Circulation increased 7% for the month of February and 3% year-to-date compared to the prior year. Holds filled and placed increased 8% and eBook downloads continue to be robust, increasing 140% over the prior year despite the fact that several publishers are still not offering digital content to libraries.<br />
<br />
The newly formed Social Media team has been selected and started work this month. They will present their strategies for increasing KCLS’ online presence at the March Board meeting.<br />
Four teams of elementary school students will compete for first place in the 2012 Global Reading Challenge, which will be held at the Service Center on March 23. Finalists include students from Samantha Smith Elementary (Lake Washington School District), Lake View Elementary (Auburn School District), Grand Ridge Elementary (Issaquah School District) and Parkside Elementary (Highline School District.) Each year, schools bring parent and student supporters and, in some cases cheerleaders, as they face off against one another to test their knowledge of the books they have read.<br />
The Community Center for Education Results (CCER) works with a coalition of school districts, city governments and public and private organizations to improve students’ success in schools across south King County. Having identified a loss of learning momentum in the summer as one of the key elements affecting student performance, CCER has asked KCLS to take the lead on developing a special program that is modeled after KCLS’ Summer Reading Program that can be delivered to community sites in low income areas. The concept is a perfect match for KCLS’ Library2Go outreach vehicles, which could visit these sites after they’ve made their runs to home daycares.<br />
<br />
GOVERNMENT RELATIONS<br />
<br />
KCLS learned at the end of the regular Legislative session that House Bill 2602, which died in committee, was included in the House’s final budget so the study of junior taxing districts will likely go forward this year. While it appears that other taxing districts are the primary focus of the bill, KCLS will have to wait until the study is concluded to learn to what extent public libraries will be affected.<br />
<br />
It appears that the final State budget will include the sales tax incentive for cities considering annexation of unincorporated areas. The City of Burien is so confident that funding will be available that the City Council will be considering whether to put a measure on the ballot to annex the remaining unincorporated area of North Highline. KCLS will know whether annexation will be placed on the ballot in August or November when the Council considers the matter at their last meeting in March.<br />
<br />
As reported last month, a citizen’s petition requesting that the decision to relocate the Renton Library be put to a vote failed to gather the required number of signatures. Petitioners were given ten more days to gather more signatures but those have yet to be verified by King County Elections. KCLS should know the status of the petition by next month’s Board meeting.<br />
<br />
The City of Enumclaw’s intent to annex to KCLS is on the April 17 ballot. The City has clearly stated that Library operations will not be funded next year if the measure fails. If the Enumclaw Library closes, the current reciprocal borrowing agreement terminates, which means that City of Enumclaw residents will not be able to obtain a KCLS library card and residents who currently have a KCLS library card will no longer be able to use it. The same holds true for residents seeking library cards from the Pierce County Library System. In effect, citizens of Enumclaw will be voting on April 17 whether or not to have any library service at all.<br />
<br />
KCLS recently learned that the City of Bothell plans to again pursue annexation of a portion of Snohomish County. If the measure passes, it could mean up to $1.5 million in additional revenue to KCLS starting in 2013.<br />
<br />
The King County Council confirmed Robin McClelland’s appointment to the KCLS Board of Trustees. She will begin in her official capacity at the March meeting.<br />
<br />
OTHER<br />
<br />
KCLS had a significant presence at the 2012 Public Library Association Conference in Philadelphia. Staff presented a number of programs covering such topics as collection development, Take Time to READ and “Creating the Library of the Year.” The building design presentation by Dri Ralph and Miller-Hull Architects was so popular that it was taped for inclusion in a virtual conference. There was a good deal of discussion about eBook vendors that are reluctant to sell digital content to libraries. A group of public libraries is exploring the establishment of a research and advocacy group to confront the issue and KCLS has been asked to participate. The American Library Association and Urban Libraries Council are also engaged in similar efforts. Ultimately, it may require congressional involvement to ensure that the public have the same access to both print and digital content.<br />

The event raised over $200,000, which will help fund literacy and lifelong learning programs.<br />
<br />
Keynote speaker and bestselling author Lee Child was gracious and funny. He spoke highly of KCLS’ impact and congratulated KCLS and audience members for their passion and commitment to libraries, noting the “fantastic resource’” we have in our community. Earlier in the day, he toured the Sammamish Library and was complimentary of its design and collection. Staff showed him how the Automated Materials Handling system works, and on this very rainy day, he even ascended the ladder to check out the green roof.<br />
<br />
Emcee Nancy Pearl introduced the event’s 30 popular Northwest authors and delighted the crowd with her remarks. KCLS Foundation President Kari Glover told of her personal experiences in the library as a young reader and talked about the library’s value in our community. Bill Ptacek delivered his annual State of the Library report to applause and cheers from the crowd.<br />
<br />
Tickets sold out for the Author Salons. More than 160 avid readers will enjoy a rare opportunity to dine or attend events with 11 authors, including Sherman Alexie, Paul Gregutt, David Horsey, Art Thiel, Valerie Easton, Tom Douglas, Bob Dugoni, Garth Stein, JA Jance, Nancy Pearl and Greg Atkinson.<br />

SYSTEM HIGHLIGHTS<br />
<br />
FROM THE FEBRUARY DIRECTOR’S REPORT<br />
<br />
OPERATIONS<br />
<br />
In 2012, KCLS will direct more of its programming budget toward civic engagement and has been discussing ways to pilot civic engagement at the local level while considering how to move forward with civic engagement initiatives on a System-wide basis. Recently, the City of Kirkland purchased a portion of the BNSF railway corridor that runs through the City and now needs to determine how to use the space. The City has asked for assistance from the Kirkland Library to help raise community awareness of the issue, engage residents in the conversation and capture input for the City to consider in their decision-making. Library staff will lead the initiative, which will include introducing the subject at a kick-off event at the Kirkland Library, distributing information in strategic locations throughout the community, including PR stories in local newspapers and on local media and creating an online forum to capture information directly from target audiences. KCLS is exploring using a web application called DialogueApp that allows registered users to submit comments online, rate other people’s comments and capture statistics related to the topic. A System-wide civic engagement project will be unveiled later this year that will have a universal theme that is more appropriate for a broader audience.<br />
<br />
In spite of inclement weather, the first program in a five-part series commemorating the sesquicentennial of the Civil War drew 47 participants to the Mercer Island Library. The second program had a similar attendance and was videotaped for online access. The series is funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities and the American Library Association and will run through May. Each discussion was led by Dr. Lorraine McConaghy, Public Historian from the Museum of History and Industry (MOHAI). Despite the fact that the Civil War was fought in the East and occurred before Washington was ratified as a State, many important participants in the War had connections to our State.<br />
<br />
Take Time to READ begins a second year when the three-month reading campaign launches in July. Book cover posters will grace 240 sites this year, twice as many as last year and Quick Reads Shelves will be installed in 29 locations, including Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. Sea-Tac is one of the busiest locations in the region and Take Time to READ will have prominent exposure, including outdoor media on the pedestrian skybridge and backlit display signs within Concourse B. Pagliacci Pizza has also agreed to sticker their pizza boxes across the region with Take Time to READ promotional materials. Other activities will be announced as plans take shape over the upcoming months.<br />
<br />
Circulation for the month of January was down 1%. Even though KCLS experienced library service disruptions during several snow days, circulation was positively affected by eBook downloads, which increased 157% for the month compared to the prior year. On a single day, January 18, KCLS patrons downloaded 3,276 eBooks, more than half of which were downloaded to Kindles. Holds increased 4% in January, a further sign that patrons are getting more familiar with the KCLS catalog.<br />
<br />
GOVERNMENT RELATIONS<br />
<br />
A special meeting of the KCLS Board of Trustees on February 23 will allow the Board to decide whether to concur with a request by the City of Enumclaw to put annexation on the April ballot before the matter is considered by the King County Council at their February 27 meeting. The Board of Trustees must concur with the City of Enumclaw before annexation can be advanced. The City of Enumclaw is providing minimal funding for their library operations this year. The City initially proposed an agreement that included retaining ownership of the Library building if annexation is approved by the voters. KCLS suggested that it could provide better facilities maintenance if it owned the building while agreeing to relinquish the building to the City if, at any point, KCLS no longer provides library service to the City. The City agreed with the proposed changes to the agreement and the Council voted in favor of putting annexation on the ballot by a vote of 5-2.<br />
<br />
KCLS met with members of the King County Council and the new Mayor of Burien, Brian Bennett, to discuss the North Highline library situation. KCLS staff had a follow up meeting with Mayor Bennett at the KCLS Service Center to review the North Highline Library Service Area Analysis and discuss other possible alternatives for library service in the area. The City of Burien has indicated that they are proceeding with annexation of the North Highline unincorporated area and the vote could be as early as November 2012. However, the City’s plans may be put on hold if the sales tax incentive is not available. Concurrently, the “ad hoc library group” led by the Burien City Manager concluded their meetings at the end of January. The City Manager will make a recommendation to the City Council in the next few weeks. While the group concluded that KCLS should build a new White Center Library on or near the current site, it did not arrive at a solution to the boundary issue that has stopped KCLS from moving ahead. If for some reason annexation is not imminent, the City may want to reconvene another group to examine the issue. KCLS assured the Mayor and City Manager of its willingness to participate in such a meeting if it was to occur.<br />
<br />
A petition signed by more than 6,800 residents was delivered to the City of Renton requesting that the City Council’s decision to relocate the downtown library be put to a vote. Signatures are being verified by the King County Elections office and if the petition has the requisite number of valid signatures, the City Council will have to determine whether to put the issue on the ballot. If the petition is not certified, backers will have more time to gather additional signatures. However, the matter could come before the City Council as early as mid-March. The City has already issued construction bonds, purchased property and signed an inter-local agreement allowing KCLS to begin design work. Potentially amending that agreement mid-stream, and KCLS’ response to that, would have to be taken into account during their deliberations. In the meantime, KCLS’ consultant team is scheduled to present initial design plans to the KCLS Board of Trustees at the February meeting.<br />
<br />
House Bill 2602, which calls for a study of whether to consolidate junior taxing districts into larger units of government, has cleared the House and is now being reviewed by the Senate’s Local Government Committee. The House included $50,000 in the budget to fund the study and modified the timeline for completion by the end of this year.<br />
The annual audit of the Sno-Isle Libraries is still not finished. The State Auditor has taken issue with specific expenditures of the Sno-Isle Libraries Foundation and one audit draft called into question whether certain library programs, such as Game On for teens, is a valid purpose of the library. The library community may ultimately pursue the issues with the State Auditor and Attorney General once Sno-Isle’s audit is complete.<br />
<br />
The King County Executive has appointed Robin McClelland to the KCLS Board of Trustees to replace Judge Richard Eadie, whose final term ended in December. Ms. McClelland is a certified urban planner and has several years of experience with city and regional planning efforts. She is a resident of the Shoreline area and has been a Study Zone volunteer at the Richmond Beach Library since 2009. Her appointment is effective upon confirmation by the King County Council.<br />

In 1992, KCLS Board President Bill Gates and State Senator Pete von Reichbauer were distinguished guests and local news stations covered a demonstration by protesters who picketed the ceremony to object to the Library’s placement of Playboy magazine on library shelves. Twenty years later, Pete Von Reichbauer, now a King County Council member, presented the Federal Way Library Staff with a resolution from the Council thanking them for their support of a program for youth leaders to meet and talk about the growing problem of gang violence in the area. Bill Gates reiterated some of the speech that he gave at the original dedication ceremony. In 1992, his wife, Mary was on the Federal Way City Council and current Federal Way Mayor Skip Priest served on the Federal Way School Board.<br />
