HISTORY OF THE FAYETTE COUNTY PUBIC LIBRARIES
The
Fayette County Library began as a part of the Raleigh-Fayette
Regional Library in December 1959 in Fayetteville. Whether
it should be called Raleigh-Fayette or Fayette-Raleigh Library was
decided on the flip of a coin by Robert W. Bullen of the West
Virginia Library Commission.
The
library was headquartered in the Fayette County Soldiers and
Sailors Memorial Building. (Where it still is today.)
Library service to the public started in January, 1960.
Acting Regional Librarian was Mrs. J. Edwin Stanfield of
Fayetteville.
In
late 1967, Herbert E. Jones donated the building which was to be
the future home of the Oak Hill Public Library. At the time, the
only public library in Fayette County was located in Fayetteville.
Under the supervision of the Fayette County Public Libraries Board
of Directors, a librarian was hired and a small collection of
books was gathered. The Oak Hill Public Library opened to the
public in August of 1968.
The
headquarters section (book processing, etc.) moved to Oak Hill in
the 1980's.
