The Tennessee Library Association (TLA) is a professional organization that offers support for library staff working in Tennessee.[1] It is headquartered in Memphis, Tennessee.[2][3] TLA was originally organized in Nashville on May 29, 1902, by members of the Nashville Public Library staff and the Nashville Library Club and had 41 members by 1905.[1] G.H. Baskette, president of the Nashville Public Library, was the first president of TLA and served from 1902 to 1913.[4] The first annual meeting of the association was in Nashville on January 18, 1905 and had an opening address by Governor Frazier.[5]

TLA publishes a regular newsletter and a quarterly journal called Tennessee Libraries (ISSN:1935-7052).[6]
