The Newfoundland and Labrador 
Library Association

What is the NLLA?
The Newfoundland and Labrador Library Association is an association of people who are interested in assuring the excellence of public, school, special, and academic libraries in the province.  We have an Executive Committee and a Constitution to help guide us in our endeavours.  Historical records of the association are available in the Centre for Newfoundland Studies Archives, and a Finding Aid is available to identify what is contained therein.
