Welcome
to the Official Web site of
Kerala Library Association
Professional Associations were late
to emerge in Kerala because of the fact
that qualified librarians were few and far
between till the establishment of the Department
of Library Science, University of Kerala
in 1961. With the increase in number a strong
feeling developed among professional librarians
that an Association should be formed which
should largely confine to professional and
academic matters. As a result, Kerala Library
Association (KLA) with membership restricted
to professionally qualified persons was
formed on 13.11.1972. Prof. K.A. Issac and
Sri. P.V. Varghese were elected President
and General Secretary respectively. The
Association secured registration as a society
under Charitable Societies Act on 8.12.1972
and became the first lawful body of professional
librarians in Kerala.
