Meet Our New Peer Picks Selector Patty Blount

Hi there! My name is Patti Blount and I’m library director/head librarian of Durand Community Library. Durand Community Library is a combination public/middle-high school library. This combination library is currently celebrating 20 years as a library in the 2016-2017 school year. Durand Community Library is located in rural northwestern Wisconsin on the Chippewa River between Eau Claire, Menomonie, and Wabasha, Minnesota. Durand, Wisconsin, is located in Pepin County — the smallest county in the state. You might know Pepin County for another reason — Pepin, Wisconsin: home of Laura Ingalls Wilder.

Here is some information about me. I have been the director for the past 25 years as of January 2017. My first four and half years were spent at the Durand Free Library — Carnegie building located five blocks away in downtown Durand. When the school district/public library voted to combine, my staff and I assisted in the moving of the Durand Free Library into our current building — Durand Community Library.

I have a Bachelor’s degree from UW-Green Bay in Global Informational Analysis. It’s a personalized major that I want to emphasize — library science, computer science and business.

Collaboration Between Librarians and Bookstores As a veteran of 18 years attending the annual show for independent booksellers, Heartland Fall Forum, I have seen the changes throughout the years — shrinking of the size and the merging of two groups — Midwest Independent Booksellers Association and Great Lakes Independent Booksellers Association.

Every year is very interesting and informative. Each year, I learn a lot of great tips and information at each of the educational sessions. Also, I meet a lot of great authors through the dining events — Children’s Breakfast/Moveable Feast Luncheon/Book Signing Receptions and on the trade show floor. It’s a great event for any librarian to enjoy. I learned of this event from a Wisconsin regional library in my system — Indianhead Federated Library System, Amery Public Library, and now I’m recommending it.

This event shows a great opportunity for collaboration between librarians and bookstores. We don’t have to be competition for each other. There are many opportunities when these two groups can work together — author events, community activities and many more. If you have a chance to go to an event sponsored by these groups, please take advantage of it — a great opportunity.
