#TheDayWithTrae - Hkwaua'Que'Jol Hollins, or Q, the Youth and Family Services Manager for King County Library Systems (KCLS), recently spoke with Trae Holiday on "The Day with Trae" about his journey working in education, his dedication to helping children feeling limited in their choices, and how he drives these values into tangible progress at KCLS.

Hollins emphasized KCLS's commitment to inclusive programming, noting the library system’s active search for community feedback to shape their resources. This approach has led to significant growth, with summer reading program sign-ups increasing from 12,000 to 35,000, according to Hollins. KCLS also provides a comprehensive Study Zone program, which has expanded to 38 branches, offering in-person and online tutoring, reading buddies, and math clubs for all ages.

Hollins encouraged community involvement, particularly through volunteering, announcing KCLS's plan to hire a volunteer coordinator next year to support adult volunteers. He urged viewers to visit kcls.org/backtoschool or kcls.org to learn more about volunteer opportunities and programs, stressing that libraries are vital community hubs that thrive on public support.
