The main objective of the Canadian Library Association/Association canadienne des bibliothèques committee system is to accomplish work that furthers the goals and objectives of the Association, as outlined in the Strategic Plan, and to provide members with an opportunity to participate in the affairs of the Association.

CLA/ACB Committees are of four types, defined below

A Standing Committee is a committee with long-term objectives so closely interwoven with the program and development of policy of the Association and/or its Divisions that it should have a continuing life.


A Task Force is a committee appointed to carry out a specific project or to study specific aspects of policy, planning or administration, within a specified time period (usually defined as within a fiscal/membership year). The life of a Task Force ceases at the end of that specified time or at the conclusion of the project or study.


Divisional Committees are the responsibility of the Divisions.


A Joint Committee develops and carries out programs of mutual interest, exchanges information, or discusses matters of mutual concern with an organization or organizations outside CLA/ACB.
