Early History
In May, 2010, Puanani Mateaki, a new librarian at Stevens-Henager College Logan, introduced herself to Joseph Anderson, a new librarian at the Logan Library, and suggested that they start a local library association.
In November, 2011, Joseph started a Facebook group called 'Cache Library Association' and invited local library workers to join. Puanani, with Joseph's input, then planned in-person meetings.
Two meetings to discuss the association idea were held on 26 January 2012 at Stevens-Henager College Logan. 18 representatives from local libraries were in attendance. Those present were enthusiastic and the project gained momentum. The first general meeting was held 13 April 2012 at the Logan Library with 33 in attendance, including State Librarian Donna Jones Morris. Further meetings were scheduled and a bylaws committee was formed.
The organization was officially established with the adoption of the first bylaws by those present at the North Logan City Library on 11 October 2012.
The first executive committee was elected in December and took office on 10 January 2013 at the South Cache Middle School Media Center.
