About CLA

The Canadian Library Association was founded in Hamilton, Ontario in 1946, and was incorporated under the Companies Act on November 26, 1947. CLA is a non-profit voluntary organization, governed by an elected Executive Council, which is advised by over thirty interest groups and committees.

CLA members work in college, university, public, special (corporate, non-profit and government) and school libraries. Others sit on boards of public libraries, work for companies that provide goods and services to libraries, or are students in graduate level or community college programs.

The Association's five constituent divisions are:

  • Canadian Association for School Libraries, including the School Library Administrators' (SLAS) section (approx. 438 members)

  • Canadian Association of College and University Libraries (CACUL), including the Community and Technical College (CTCL) section (approx. 781 members)

  • Canadian Association of Public Libraries (CAPL), including the Canadian Association of Childrens' Librarians (CACL) section (approx. 681 members)
  • Canadian Association of Special Libraries and Information Services (CASLIS), with chapters in Calgary, Edmonton, Manitoba, Ottawa, Toronto and Atlantic Canada (appro. 608 members)
  • Canadian Library Trustees Association (approx. 163 members)
