Renton voters. VOTE NO on Proposition No.1 annexation to King County Library District (KCLS). Why?
An in-depth, two-year study conducted by an independent library consulting group found “Renton lags far behind in the resources available to provide responsive, high-quality library services needed by its growing and diverse citizenry.” This study also found that KCLS could provide Renton residents library service for 6-9 percent less the long-term costs.
Dear residents of Leisure Estates and friends: If you have not already voted, I sure hope that you have looked at the VOTERS GUIDE. On one page is information regarding a YES or NO Vote for the Renton Library, on the opposite page, is information for those in the Rural King County Library District asking for a TAX increase for the King County Library System.
Pro KCLS ads are misleading. Yesterday, I received a flier urging KCLS annexation by comparing the Renton Public Library resources to KCLS resources. The flier included a comparison of 20 Internet work stations at Renton Public Library to the 40,000 stations for KCLS. What a grossly unfair and misleading comparison.
I am a senior citizen living in the newly annexed area in south Renton. I have depended upon the King County Library System for the last few years and have found it completely satisfied my library use needs. I use the library facility several times a week.
Passage of Proposition 1 with a Renton property tax base of $11.8 billion and a King County Library System levy of 42 cents per $1,000 would generate $4.95 million per year for the King County Libraries.

I’m very disappointed by the coverage the Renton Reporter has (or hasn’t) provided on the issue of Renton joining KCLS. They declined an invitation to a Library Board meeting where an opponent was scheduled to attend. They also declined an invitation to report on KCLS’s extensive school and youth outreach programs as described to the PTSA council.
