VARNA NEWS Middlesex County Library receives re -accreditation MIDDLESEX — Middlesex County Library has once again been rec- ognized for its excellence. Library board chairper- son Doug Reycraft announced to Middlesex County council June 8 the library system has been re -accredited by the Ontario Public Library Guidelines Monitoring and Accreditation Council. Branches in Ailsa Craig, Dorchester, Glencoe, Komoka, Ilderton, Lucan Mt. Brydges, Parkhill, Strathroy and Thorndale met or surpassed more than 100 guidelines deal- ing with policy, planning, resources and services. A score of 90 per cent or more is required to gain accreditation under this program. Branches open less than 12 hours per week are not eligible for accreditation. The audit report com- ments, "Middlesex County Library is a very well organized and well man- aged system. They have solid policies in place, as well as an excellent plan- ning cycle. The staff of Middlesex County Library should be commended for the excellent planning and administration of this large system." Middlesex County Library first received accreditation in 1998. Accreditation is in place for five years, so in 2003 county librarian Margaret Rule applied for re- accreditation. An exten- sive two-day audit, based on the guidelines and conducted by library peers, was done in late 2003 and early 2004. The guidelines program was established by the public library community to recognize excellence in library service by public libraries in Ontario. The audit allows libraries to match themselves against an accepted set of guide- lines. An accredited library not only demon- strates it meets provincial standards of efficiency and service levels, it also acts as a leader in raising the level of public library service across the province. Of the 20 accredited libraries in Ontario, Middlesex County is the only county library sys- tem so far to receive this recognition. Traffic complaints lead to arrests EXETER — Huron OPP received two complaints of a vehicle driving erratically in South Huron in the early evening June 30. An officer near the south edge of Exeter spotted the vehicle, a light grey 2002 Dodge Dakota with four males inside and stopped it at approximately 7:30 p.m. The officer's attention was further drawn to this vehicle when weaving on the roadway was observed and beer bottles were seen being tossed from the win- dows. The vehicle was stopped and the driver was found with alcohol on his breath. A check of the vehicle found it had been stolen from Woodstock recently and the driver was suspended. All four people in the vehicle were arrested and taken to the Exeter OPP office. Breath tests were conducted on the driver and the results were below the level of criminal charges being laid for impaired driving. One occupant in the vehicle produced a false name, which was discovered during the investigation. The false name was provided because the male was under probation conditions. As a result of the investigation the driver, a 21 -year- old Woodstock man, has been charged with possession of stolen property obtained by crime. Another 21 -year- old Woodstock man has been charged with obstructing a police officer and breaching probation. They will attend court in Exeter Aug. 26. Congratulations to Leanne and Mike Coclough on the birth of their daughter. Proud grandparents are Steve and Linda Keys and great grandparents are Arnold and Nora Keys.
