The South Carolina Library Association (SCLA) is a professional organization for South Carolina's librarians and library workers. It is headquartered in Columbia, South Carolina. It was founded on October 27, 1915, in Columbia.[1] University of South Carolina librarian Robert M. Kennedy was the association's first president from 1915 through 1921.[2] The group became a chapter of the American Library Association in 1944.[2]
SCLA admitted its first black members in 1962 after an ALA inquiry requesting that Southern library associations "clarify their positions on black membership."[2] SCLA president Nancy Jane Day certified that membership was open to black members, many of whom had been attending the meetings of the library section of the Palmetto Education Association.[2]
SCLA published the South Carolina Library Bulletin from 1945 through 1956, followed by the South Carolina Librarian from 1956 to 1988.[2] South Carolina Libraries is currently the official open access journal of SCLA.[3]
