- Fayette Library renews accreditation: Achieving accreditation requires a significant, ongoing local commitment to high quality library services. Of Iowa's 543 public libraries, 338 - including the Fayette Community Library- are accredited. The Fayette Community has been recognized for its efforts in all areas of library administration including governance and funding; staffing; library collection; services; public relations; and access and facilities. The accreditation is for three years and valid through June 30, 2012. This is the sixth time the library has received accreditation beginning in 1994. Linda K. Adams, is the Director and board members are: Jan O'Brien, Jean Merkle, Sue Dohrmann, Roy Karlson, Ron Ahrens, Peggy Bentley, and Connie Collins.
