When a child walks into a library, they step into a world of possibility — free books, engaging story times, hands-on learning, and a community that believes in their future. These opportunities aren’t guaranteed. They exist because supporters like you choose to invest in young readers.

The KCLS Foundation funds programs that help children build reading confidence, access diverse books, stay engaged after-school and through the summer, and connect families with tools that support learning at home. These services help bridge educational gaps and ensure kids have what they need to succeed in school and beyond.

As the year comes to a close, your generosity ensures every child in King County can start the new year with the resources, encouragement, and opportunities that help them learn and thrive.

Will you make a year-end gift to empower the next generation of readers in King County?
