Meet the Librarians

Shara Berghuis

I am privileged to hold the position of Library Director at the Wray Public Library and recently celebrated my 25th Anniversary as a Library Lady.

I became a Library Lady because I love a box of new books!  I love being part of the Wray Community and coming to a place I enjoy working at every day and serving the patrons.  

If I could, I would work on genealogy all the time and learn the stories of my patrons and of the past.  
Personally I enjoy reading, spending time with my family, movies and pizza.
You can always reach me by email.

Rachel Southards

I am the Assistant/ Children’s Librarian and the “go to" lady for the school teachers providing in- class materials available from the library.  

I create the Storytime program using story books, crafts and fun, and am rewarded with weekly giggles from 3 to 5 year olds.  

I love coffee, crafts, cooking, reading, hunting, animals and my family.

As far as reading, give me a good mystery, children’s books, or historical fiction.

Please feel free to email me for a reading recommendation.

Robin Newton

I am a librarian at the library specializing in Interlibrary Loan and youth/adult programs. 

I enjoy working with pre-teen youth in the Library Council and Travel Club. I also love working with 

our Social Stitchers Club.

My children have participated in the library programs through the years and I think the library is 

an amazing part of our community.

We have many resources to offer and I'm happy to be here and assist our library patrons.  Feel free to email me for assistance. 

Claire Gdanitz

I am the teen librarian at the library,  I officially became employed in June of 2021, but I have previously been involved in a few of the library's programs including book buddies and Storytime. 

I am so excited to be working here and getting to know, and assist, library patrons!
