TNRD – New manager of library services announced for region

The Thompson-Nicola Regional District (TNRD) has a new general manager of Library Services. She’s Julie Creaser, who joined the Thompson-Nicola Regional Library (TNRL) system with more than 20 years of experience in leadership roles, including with Prince George Public Library, Northern Health, and Vancouver Island Regional Library. She began work for the TNRD today, October 1, 2025.

“I’m honoured to join the Thompson-Nicola Regional Library and excited to work with such a dedicated team who’ve built vital spaces for literacy, connection and growth,” Creaser stated.

“I look forward to collaborating on strengthening the role of the library in community life while ensuring services remain inclusive, welcoming and responsive to the needs of our TNRD communities.”

The general manager of library services is responsible for operations of the entire library system. Creaser takes over the position following the departure of Chief librarian Judy Moore in June 2025, who took on a new library position in Salt Lake City, Utah.

“We’re thrilled to have Julie join the organization, following an extensive hiring process. Julie brings vast leadership experience and great enthusiasm for advancing literacy and library programming,” said CAO Scott Hildebrand.

“We also want to thank Judy for her contributions to library service during her time with the TNRD.”
