Tristin McCreight

Reference Assistant

Hi! I'm Tristin and I started working at the Whitefish Bay Library in late 2024 as a Reference Assistant for the Youth Services Department. My favorite part of this job is the Arts and Crafts programs and helping answer questions from our youngest patrons. I have lived in the Northshore area for most of my life, and recently moved back here after completing my undergrad which is a B.A. in Government and International Politics, and I am currently pursing a dual masters at UWM for Urban Planning and Public Administration. I am an avid reader who loves reading romance, fiction, and short story collections. Besides reading, I love to be in nature either hiking or taking photos and discovering new music.

About Whitefish Bay Public Library

A library that is just about lending books seems so last century, doesn’t it?

That’s our philosophy at the Whitefish Bay Public Library, anyway. We believe that everything that we do, we do to make a difference in someone’s life. Creating connections. Building community. Collecting stories. Sure, we have books, but we’re SO much more.
