Conversation with Mignon Pittman, New Director of the Calloway County Public Library

Calloway County Public Library, Facebook

Internet service problems have plagued our region for just over a week now, and as inconvenient as it is for most of us, imagine heading up one of our area’s libraries just as the Commonwealth’s new e-book lending program, Kentucky Unbound rolls out.  

That very thing is the signal challenge for Calloway County Public Library’s new director Mignon Pittman.  But, more than two decades with the library means Pittman is more than up to that challenge.  Todd Hatton traveled to the library to speak with Mignon Pittman about her career there, begun in her early teens, and the debut of Kentucky Unbound.

Todd Hatton hails from Paducah, Kentucky, where he got into radio under the auspices of the late, great John Stewart of WKYX while a student at Paducah Community College. He also worked at WKMS in the reel-to-reel tape days of the early 1990s before running off first to San Francisco, then Orlando in search of something to do when he grew up. He received his MFA in Creative Writing at Murray State University. He vigorously resists adulthood and watches his wife, Angela Hatton, save the world one plastic bottle at a time.
