Today is the 135th anniversary of founding of the American Library Association.
In October 1876, in Philadelphia, 103 librarians (90 men, 13 women) assembled, responding to a call for a "Convention of Librarians." At the end of the meeting, ALA was formed. The aim of the Association was "to enable librarians to do their present work more and at less expense."
