Library Boards that KCLS works with, operate. Angie suggested that TLAB consider making
a presentation to the City Council in late April to coincide with the one-year anniversary of
the new Tukwila Library opening. It was agreed that a draft report be prepared by staff
and further discussion regarding a presentation would occur at the March meeting.

proposed a collaborative event called "Reading by the River". 2018 will be the 3rd summer

program. The library will bring a DJ, and giveways like books and snacks, and encourage
people of all ages to gather and enjoy a pleasant day in a beautiful place with a good book.
The DJ spins tunes to support reading — relaxing, groovy music, and nothing loud. **Event
