The King County Library System board of trustees will be growing from five members to seven.
Washington Gov. Jay Inslee signed legislation aimed at reflecting the district’s growing and diverse population.
“The King County Library System is now in a better position to serve the ever-changing needs of our growing region,” said County Councilman Reagan Dunn, who helped push for the legislation.
The King County Library System has 49 libraries that serve 1.4 million residents in nearly every part of King County, except the city of Seattle. Since the creation of the KCLS board in 1943, state law required that five members serve. The governor’s signature began the process of adjusting the number of members so they can better represent the people using the system.
New library trustees will be appointed by the county executive and confirmed by the county legislative authority.
