*Founding: At a Mountain-Plains Library Conference held at the Stanley Hotel, Estes Park, Colorado, August 29-31, 1948, 217 librarians from Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Utah, and Wyoming, formally created the Mountain-Plains Library Association. Mr. Ralph T. Esterquest, Asst. Director, University of Denver Libraries, chaired the conference and was unanimously elected its first president. The impetus for this new regional association grew out of the cooperative efforts made by region librarians as members of the Bibliographical Center (now the Bibliographical Center for Research), established in 1935 by Dr. Malcolm Wyer, director of libraries and dean of the College of Librarianship, at Denver University. Over the years, MPLA and BCR have worked closely together to promote and improve library services to the member states. Now eleven states strong (Arizona, Montana, Nevada, and Oklahoma have become member states), the MPLA region encompasses nearly 25% of the continental United States.
