Major Orchestra Librarians' Association was founded in 1983 primarily to help improve communication among orchestra librarians. The Association's other objectives include educating and assisting librarians, presenting a unified voice in publisher relations and providing education, support, and information to performing arts and other music service organizations. Today MOLA is an international organization with a membership of 173 libraries, including those of orchestras, opera and ballet companies, military bands and music conservatories.
Membership includes musical organizations in Asia, Australia, Europe, the Mideast and North America.
