The Guam Library Association (GLA) is a professional organization for Guam's librarians and library workers based in Hagatna.[1] It was founded in 1965 and became an affiliate of the American Library Association in 1967, an affiliation which it lost in 1975 and regained sometime in the late 1980s.[2][3][4] GLA is also a member of the Pacific Islands Association of Libraries, Archives, and Museums.[5] Membership in the association is open to librarians and library workers, but also to the general public who are interested in improving the civilian and military libraries of Guam.[6]

There was an earlier group in Guam also called the Guam Library Association, but it was created in 1947 in order to support the formation of public libraries on Guam.[7] GLA was dormant for a period of time in the 1970s and 1980s and officially "re-launched" in 1989.
