<p>The <b>Canadian Library Association</b> (<b>CLA</b>) was a national, predominantly English-language association which represented 57,000 <a href="Library" title="Library">library</a> workers across Canada. It also spoke for the interests of the 21 million Canadians who are members of libraries. CLA members worked in all four types of libraries: academic (college and university), <a href="Public_library" title="Public library">public</a>, special (corporate, non-profit and government) and school libraries. Others sat on boards of public libraries, work for companies that provide goods and services to libraries, or were students in graduate level or community college programs.
</p><p>CLA's Mission Statement was: "CLA is the national voice for Canada's library communities. As members, we:
</p>
<ul><li>champion library values and the value of libraries</li>
<li>influence public policy impacting libraries</li>
<li>inspire and support member learning</li>
<li>collaborate to strengthen the library community"<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></li></ul>
<p>The statement highlights the Association's advocacy role on behalf of the Canadian library and information community.
</p><p>As of January, 2016, the organization claimed it had 924 paid members, although it is unclear whether this means personal members, or total membership (including corporate, associate, institutional, and honorary members). The executive council claims it had spent several years dealing with the difficulties of declining membership, efficiency, and financial power.<sup id="cite_ref-:0_2-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:0-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

<p>The Canadian Library Association (CLA) was founded in <a href="Hamilton%2C_Ontario" title="Hamilton, Ontario">Hamilton</a>, <a href="Ontario" title="Ontario">Ontario</a> in 1946, and was incorporated under the Companies Act on November 26, 1947. <a href="Freda_Farrell_Waldon" title="Freda Farrell Waldon">Freda Farrell Waldon</a> was its first president, serving in the year 1947.<sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> CLA is a non-profit voluntary organization, governed by an elected Executive Council, which is advised by over forty interest groups and committees.
</p><p>In May 2002, the membership was at a grand total of 2,721, including 2216 personal, 505 institutional, and 187 associate members.<sup id="cite_ref-8" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>As of December 2014, the last time at which information was available, total membership in the CLA (through its various membership types) was 1,283:

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Committees">Committees</h2></div>
<p>The CLA was supported by two types of committees: advisory committees and standing committees.<sup id="cite_ref-11" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-11"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>11<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> As the need arose, new committees were formed by the Executive Council.

</p>
<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Advisory_committees">Advisory committees</h3></div>
<p>The Executive Council created advisory committees to address topics of strategic professional interest to the CLA. These committees were either long-term or short-term. Some of the advisory committees that supported the CLA were:
</p>
<ul><li>Copyright Advisory Committee</li>
<li>Information Policy Advisory Committee</li>
<li>Intellectual Freedom Advisory Committee</li>
<li>School Libraries Advisory Committee</li>
<li>Royal Society of Canada: Brief Development Team for CLA Submission</li></ul>
<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Standing_committees">Standing committees</h3></div>
<p>The Executive Council created long-term standing committees to actively govern the CLA. These committees contributed to the continuing operation of the CLA, and included:
</p>
<ul><li>Conference Standing Committee</li>
<li>Elections Standing Committee</li>
<li>Finance Standing Committee</li>
<li>Member Communications Standing Committee</li>
<li>Monograph Publications Standing Committee</li>

<li>Participation Standing Committee</li>
<li>Resolutions Standing Committee</li></ul>
<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Student_chapters">Student chapters</h2></div>
<p>Recognizing that there was a need for close association between the Canadian Library Association and students in library school, the Canadian Library Association always encouraged students to join CLA, network and become involved active members of the library community.
</p><p>In March 1999, CLA's first Student Chapter was officially launched at the <a href="University_of_Western_Ontario" title="University of Western Ontario">University of Western Ontario</a>.
