Meet our Library Director

Meet Peg Gay, our library director.

I joined the Mapleton Library staff in Nov., 2015. Previously I taught high school science for 20 years. I received a master degree in library science from UNO at Omaha. My goal is to provide material for each patron and develop programs to entice more people to visit the library. I want the library to be a reflection of the Mapleton Community.
