The Perth & District Union Public Library achieved the honour of becoming an Accredited Ontario Public
Library in 2008.

This designation was granted by the Ontario Public Library Guidelines Monitoring and Accreditation Council,
after an external assessment, in recognition of excellence in library service. A library is judged and rated on
over 125 guidelines that evaluate library services, resources, planning and policy. The Perth and District
Union Public Library is proud of this achievement and will work to maintain these high provincial standards
of service, administration and infrastructure.
