The Croatian Library Association (Hrvatsko Knjižničarsko Društvo) was established in 1940, and is currently made up of 16 regional library associations. Membership is voluntary and is on an individual or corporate basis. Prior to the establishment of the Croatian Library Association, Croatian Librarians were professionally connected to the Yugoslav Library Assocation, founded in 1930.
In 1949, the CLA established their professional journal, and they are now responsible for the publication of most library literature in the country, including the translation and publication of international standards and guidelines. The association's code of ethics was adopted in 1992, one year after Croatia obtained independence. The Croatian Library Association is a member of the European Bureau of Library, Information and Documentation Associations. It is also a member of the International Federation of Library Associations.
