goldencrunchcrms spearheaded the creation of the CLA in late March/early April 2020, and as a result has attained the title of Master Librarian. The Master Librarian is responsible for forming library policies, planning and organizing the CLA and its members, and maintaining honorable political relationships with all of the nations of CivRealms.

Narwhal_19 is the original founder of the library in Wheatistan (now a CLA member branch) and was one of the first players on CivRealms to seriously collect and distribute books. As Library Manager, Narwhal is responsible for maintaining communication between member branches, distributing books between them, and directing the addition of new libraries.

4788888 helped found the CLA in early April 2020 and since the beginning has been responsible for collecting, storing, cataloging (he created the Salmon Decimal System), and distributing every book which the CLA comes into contact with. As Head Archivist, 47 maintains the CLA catalog, updates the website, and creates and stores backup copies of every book.

Lanax joined the CLA right after its founding with his library branch in Tombstone. In early June, Lanax became a part of the CLA staff to help manage growing demands across the map of CivRealms. As Book Purveyor of the West, Lanax helps distribute books to libraries and manage CLA buildings on the western side of the map.

Chomer is one of the most prolific writers and transcribers for the CLA and joined early in its creation. As the Resident Ghostwriter Expert, Chomer helps budding authors learn to use the tool and troubleshoots feedback to the creator of this helpful book-writing mod.

As the spread of pamphlets, historical documents, and other non-book written artifacts became more prevalent, noahravn, a longtime member of the CLA, approached the staff to help categorize and archive these documents. Working alongside the Head Archivist, noahravn collects, categorizes, and stores all the non-book documents for future reference and to help preserve CivRealms' history.
