The Colorado Association of Libraries (CAL) is a professional organization for Colorado's librarians and library workers. It is headquartered in Arvada, Colorado. It was established in 1893 as the Colorado Library Association.[1][2] John Cotton Dana was elected president of the organization in 1895 but left after taking a controversial position on the gold standard and John Parsons succeeded him.[3][2] The organization faltered in 1896 and then was "resuscitated" in 1905.[4] Alfred Whitaker was the president of the association in 1905.[4]

The organization has been registered as a state non-profit since 1968.[5] The Colorado Association of Libraries was formed in 2001 through a merger of the Colorado Library Association and the Colorado Educational Media Association.[6]
