Florida Library Association

The Florida Library Association (FLA) is a regional, non-profit organization that promotes professional discourse and opportunities for the library community in Florida. The FLA publishes the Florida Libraries Journal.

The organization's mission shares similar goals with the American Library Association (ALA), in that organization members promote adapting to the new information age. The Florida Library Association began meeting in 1906, but it was officially formed in 1920 by Helen Virginia Stelle, director of the Tampa Public Library. In addition to its publication, Florida Libraries , the FLA provides a forum for issues and advocacy.
