King County Library System

Daniel

The King County Library System's board of trustees selected Heidi Daniel to become executive director following a nationwide search after Lisa Rosenblum's announcement to retire. Daniel will begin March 11. Daniel will join KCLS from the Enoch Pratt Free Library in Baltimore, where she has served as president and CEO since 2017. Daniel also oversaw the completion of the Central Library renovation, and helped spearhead plans for a new Park Heights Library, the Pratt's first new building in more than 15 years. She helped launch the library's Office of Equity and Fair Practices, steered the organization through the start of the unionization process, led new public service strategies through the pandemic, and kickstarted a new master facilities plan. Prior to working at the Pratt, Daniel served as executive director of the Public Library of Youngstown and Mahoning County in Ohio for nearly five years. Daniel was the 2015 recipient of the Ohio Librarian of the Year award. Supporting the communities of King County (outside the city of Seattle), KCLS has 50 libraries and serves nearly 1.6 million people.
