The King County Library System (KCLS) is seeking an energetic, collaborative, and visionary leader to serve as our library director. KCLS has been serving the urban, suburban, and rural communities surrounding Seattle since 1942. KCLS is not part of King County government. It is an independent taxing district established under State law to provide library services to area residents. The current operating budget is $109 million.


The ideal candidate will work with our talented staff and community residents to continue our tradition of excellence in providing innovative services and collections that meet the diverse needs of 1.3 million residents in our service area. A nationally recognized library system, KCLS has 48 community libraries and lends over 22 million items per year.


The Library Director is hired by and serves under the direction of the KCLS Board of Trustees. The Director serves as the chief executive officer of the library and is responsible for the planning, administration and evaluation of all public library services. The Library Director makes policy recommendations to the KCLS Board of Trustees and oversees the annual operating budget.


KCLS will offer a competitive salary commensurate with the qualifications of the selected candidate. A generous benefits package will also be provided.
