About the Association
The Lebanese Library Association (LLA) was founded in Beirut in 1960 with the aim of improving the standard of libraries and librarians and to encourage study and research on librarianship in Lebanon.
Since its founding the LLA has organized and held workshops, seminars, lectures and conferences to attain its objectives. It has also supported the exchange of experience and information among libraries and librarians so as to meet the standards on national and international levels.
