The Prince George Public Library has named Paul Burry as its new library director.

Burry, previously the manager of support and circulation services, had been acting as the acting chief librarian since Janet Marren retired in July.

Burry joined the staff of the public library in 2011, shortly after completing his master's degree in library and information science from the University of Washington. Burry came to Prince George in 2003 and received a bachelor of arts degree at UNBC while working in the university library.

"Paul's experiences in various libraries, his skill set and his interview with the hiring committee lefts us with no doubt that he is the best choice to take over leadership of the Prince George Public Library," said board chair Mike Gagel in a release.
