Pacific Northwest Library Association meetings, 1919-1949The Pacific Northwest Library Association (PNLA) was founded in 1909
during a three day conference at the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition in
Seattle. The original members included librarians from Washington and Oregon,
as well as the Provincial Librarian of British Columbia, but the membership
grew to include librarians from Idaho, Montana and Utah. The PNLA affiliated
with the American Library Association (ALA) in 1914. Among the achievements of
the PNLA was the creation of the
Subscription Books Bulletinin 1917, which
eventually merged with another publication to become the ALA's
Booklist. Although experiencing
restructuring through the years, the PNLA celebrated its centennial in 2009 and
remains the only regional library association to incorporate an international
border.Photographs of Pacific Northwest Library Association meetings,
