The West Virginia Library Association (WVLA) is a professional organization for West Virginia's librarians and library workers. It is headquartered in Parkersburg, West Virginia. It was founded on October 22, 1914, in Parkersburg, West Virginia at a meeting of the Federated Women's Clubs of West Virginia.[1] S. Scollay Page, the state federation chair of literature and library extensions, invited librarians statewide to attend the meeting.[1] The association was created and Page became its first president.[1] WVLA was established as a state non-profit in 1980.[2][3] The organization lobbied the state of West Virginia to create the West Virginia Library Commission, which was established in 1929 and facilitated the growth of public libraries in the state.[4]
WVLA publishes West Virginia Libraries (ISSN 0043-3276).[5]
