Woltjer is replacing Mike Pigg, who is retiring after two years in the position.
During the transition, Assistant Library Director Kelsie Rubich will work as acting library director.
Woltjer has been library director for eight years. On Friday, the Billings Public Library will be presented with the Library of the Year award, which the city said in a news release marks a culmination of Woltjer's efforts.
