The Nevada Library Association operated under a
Constitution from 1946 until 1963, when the association was created by
statute. The 1963 statute specified that "The Nevada Library
Association shall be a nonprofit corporation created to promote
library se rvice and librarianship in Nevada." See former NRS
82.650-82.690. In 1991, the NLA statutes were repealed as part of a
state-wide corporation law reform movement. The repeal legislation
required NLA to reorganize as a private, non-profit corporation be
fore Oct. 1, 1993, which the association did at the Elko conference.
The new Articles of Incorporation are on file with the Nevada State
Department.
