The Nebraska Library Association (NLA) is a professional organization for Nebraska's librarians and library workers. It is headquartered in Lincoln, Nebraska. It was founded on April 22, 1895, at the University of Nebraska in Lincoln.[1] Mary L. Jones was elected first president of the organization.[1] Initial NLA conferences were held at the same time as the Nebraska State Teachers' Association or the Nebraska Federation of Women.[2][3][4] NLA is a state chapter of the American Library Association (ALA). From 1932 through 1954 there was also a Lincoln Library Association, also a state chapter of ALA until ALA dissolved their local chapters.[5]
NLA published Nebraska Libraries (ISSN 2326-3237, formerly known as Nebraska Library Association Quarterly [1970-2009]) online on a quarterly schedule [2013-2016].[6] NLA sponsors the statewide Golden Sower Award, a children's choice book award.[7]
NLA has nine standing committees as of 2020.[8]
