| The Association of Boston Law Librarians was founded in 1966 when the librarian of Choate, Hall & Stewart initiated informal luncheon meetings among Boston law firm librarians in order to get acquainted, exchange ideas and discuss common issues. Eventually, speakers were invited to address the meetings, which were usually held at the Social Law Library. The organization had no formal name, but was called the Boston Law Firm Librarians and later the Private Law Librarians of Boston. In 1967, the organization became known as the Association of Boston Law Librarians. A newsletter was established, a union list compiled and the Constitution and By-laws were adopted. The Association, which now has over 100 members, meets five times each year. The membership has diversified to include librarians from law schools, federal and state agencies and business firms. In addition to the five meetings annually, each with a speaker on a topic of interest, members receive the Membership List, the Union List (to facilitate interlibrary loans), voting rights on Association issues, and the chance to network with other librarians through participation on committees. Mentors are available to introduce newer members to the Association's proceedings and to the membership. Association of Boston Law Librarians P.O. Box 961156 Boston, MA 02196
