Welcome Chase Gallagher, our new communications and marketing director. “The public library was a focal point of my childhood,” said Gallagher. “It’s where we learned and explored, grew as readers and were able to see the world a little bit differently. That’s why it’s so exciting to join KCLS and help open those doors for more people across King County." https://lnkd.in/gzABhqsa
