The Code4Lib community is a group of computer programmers and library technologists who largely work for and with libraries. It started as a mailing list in the fall of 2003 when a group of library programmers decided to create an overarching community agnostic towards any particular language or technology. See this email thread (PDF). Soon after the mailing list was created the community decided to setup an IRC channel named #code4lib (originally on Freenode, now on Libera).
