History
The Idaho Library Association was founded as the Idaho State Library Association on December 29, 1915, at Boise High School during a meeting called by Margaret S. Roberts, the librarian of the Free Traveling Library Commission.[1][2]
Gretchen L. Smith, a librarian at the Idaho Technical Institute in Pocatello, was the association's first president.[2][3] The association changed its name to the Idaho Library Association in 1962 and became officially incorporated in 1967.[2]
