The New Mexico Library Association (NMLA) is a professional organization for New Mexico's librarians and library workers. It is headquartered in Albuquerque, New Mexico. It was officially founded on February 3, 1924.[1] Evelyn Shuler, director of Raton Public Library and director for the ALA United War Work Campaign in New Mexico, was the organization's first president.[2]
There were a few attempts to put together a state library association in New Mexico between 1901 and 1915.[3] Starting in 1914, librarians would participate in program meetings during the New Mexico Education Association.[3] Spurred on by the formation of the Southwestern Library Association (SWLA) in Texas in 1922, librarians from New Mexico met at a colleague's home to form the NMLA so that they could be ratifiers of its constitution.[3] By May, 1924 the organization had seventy-five members.[3]: 6 NMLA completed a survey of library conditions in the state in 1927 and found that the state had "nine public libraries, ten club libraries, eleven school libraries supported by taxation, one hospital library"[3]: 9
