Board of commissioners honors Nicole Herold for her outstanding service and lasting impact
The Ramsey County Board of Commissioners honors and celebrates Nicole Herold for her exemplary service, outstanding achievements, lasting impact on our library system and community, and wish her a fulfilling retirement filled with peace, and many more trips to the library.
Nicole has dedicated over 30 years of exemplary service to the Ramsey County Library since 1993, fostering a love of learning in young people, and making a profound impact on accessible information to the community. She embarked on her career as a children’s librarian at Ramsey County Library – Roseville in 1993, instrumentally planning the arrangement of the library’s new children’s room and later then serving as a library manager at Mounds View.
A champion for intellectual freedom, she also spearheaded significant youth service initiatives and projects; pioneering Ramsey County Library’s first baby storytime, creation of storybag and storytub collections, writing grants for storytime materials and debuting outreach storytimes at Head Start, amongst other programs that are now core services of Ramsey County Library. She ascended to serve as the Library Manager of Technical services, stewarding the library collections budget since 2005, demonstrating remarkable commitment to responsibly allocating public dollars, and leading a team to ensure public access to knowledge and information of an astounding value of over 24 million dollars throughout her career.
