LEAGUE OF LIBRARY COMMISSIONS

Name.

CONSTITUTION

1

The name of this organization shall be the League of Library Commissions.

2

Object. The object of the League shall be to promote, by cooperation, such library interests as are within the province of library supervision by the state.

3

Membership. Any state commission, board, bureau, department, or other official organization charged with the duty of promoting library interests in the state where it is located, either by means of traveling libraries or the establishment, organization and supervision of public libraries, shall be eligible to membership upon compliance with the conditions hereinafter enumerated.

Each organization admitted to active membership shall have one vote through an accredited representative (preferably an executive officer) on any subject requiring action at any meeting; but any member or officer of such commission, board or department may attend the meetings of the League and share in its deliberations.

4

Officers. The officers of the League shall be a president, first and second vice-presidents, and a secretary-treasurer to be elected as hereinafter specified. At the annual meeting of 1915 there shall be elected by ballot a president to serve until the second succeeding annual meeting, and a secretary-treasurer to serve until the first succeeding annual meeting, their successors to hold for terms of two years, or until their successors shall be chosen, to be elected one each year at the annual meeting of the League.

The first and second vice-presidents shall be elected annually and shall serve until the election of their successors. 5

Executive Board. Except when the League is in session, its affairs shall be in the hands of an Executive Board consisting of the officers named in Section 4 and three other members from three different states elected as hereinafter specified. At the annual meeting of 1915 there shall be elected by ballot three persons to serve as elective members of the Executive Board above mentioned, to hold, as shall be determined by lot, one until the first, one until the second, and one until the third succeeding annual meeting of the League, or until their successors shall be chosen, and their successors to hold for terms of three years, or until their successors shall be chosen, to be elected each year at the annual meeting of the League.

Any vacancy occurring during the year shall be filled by the remaining members of the Executive Board.

The Executive Board shall appoint a chairman, for sectional meetings, when neither the president nor any vicepresident can be in attendance.

Votes of the Executive Board may be taken by correspondence, a majority vote being necessary to give validity to any action so taken.

The Executive Board of the League shall prepare programs, select topics and assign speakers for the annual meeting and make all the necessary arrangements therefor.

6

Committees. There shall be a Publication Committee of three members and the president of the League, who shall co-operate with the Publishing board of the A. L. A. in securing suitable material required for Commission work, and who shall arrange through co-operation with such Publishing Board or otherwise for the printing of such publications and for the price at which they may be sold. Standing committees and special committees not otherwise provided for shall be appointed by the president.
