The Lucknow Sentinel, 1985-12-25, Page 13Atlas role. nets award
Though he admits his role in the
publishing of the Huron County Historical
Atlas was one of the key factors leading to
his award of merit from the Ontario Library
Trustees' Association for 1985, Bill Par-
tridge refuses to take all the credit.
"The historicalatlas was partly my idea
and it was probably the reason I got the
award, But, the award is a reflection back
on the library board and county council,"
said the chief librarian, of the Huron County
Library,
`County council gives you the latitude to
try things. It had a. lot of courage to do what
it did. And, we had a lot of cooperation from
all the county departments," he said.
The award of merit is presented annually
by the Ontario Library Trustees' Associa-
tion to a practising librarian who has made
a significant.. contribution to public library
service in Ontario.
Also contributing to the award was Par-
tridge's work during the past few years
towards a library board which is more open ..
to the public.
"He has .nutured and encouraged .the
growth of his local board, to the extent that
many trustees are actively participating in,
regional library affairs, they themselves
realizing that' library trustees are a part of a
larger picture emcompassing the whole pro-
vincial scene," said Margaret Coburn,
president of the association, while presen-
ting his award.
"By his example, he has demonstrated
that dialogue between municipal represen-
tatives and professionals: is an integral part
of good library service and communication:
is,afterall an important aspect of librarian-
ship," she added.
With 15 years experience in the library
field, Partridge, .who was raised in Van-
couver, earned his degree in library science
at the University of Toronto in 1969.
His first library position was librarian at
Pine Hill Divinity Hall in Halifax from 1970
to 1972. From• 1972 to 1974, he was assistant
county librarian at the Essex Bounty
Library.
He has worked as chief librarian in Huron
County since 1974. His accomplishments in.
Huron include relocating the Huron County
Library headquarters, planning the renova-
tion and move of the Clinton Branch Library
and studying computerization of various
county departments.
Partridge said he hopesto see the library
system in Huron computerized in the next
couple of years. •
He said he would also like to see the
library become more involved in the
literacy program that's been operating for
six years in Goderich.
"If we have people who can't read, it's '
becoming a more . serious problem since
more and more workers have to use com-
puters. In rural areas, there is still' a
• residual idea • that \people Elan get through
life without doing well in school," he said.
He said he plans to order more high
interest–low vocabulary books for mature
people learning to read:
In the future, . the library will also work •
closer with , the Huron County Pioneer.
Museum with cultural and historical
material.
"The library acts as a cultural and infor-
mational centre and the museumis an im-
portant
.adjunct of culture. We want 'to do
more to appeal to the culturally -bent kids as
well as the sports -bent kids," • he said... 11
Partridge is co-chairman of the Task
Force ,on Ontario Newspapers, chairman of
County and Regional Municipal Librarians
and the Association of County and Regional
Libraries, .president of the Maitland Golf
and . Country Club , and active in Little
Theatre. •
