The Saskatchewan Library Association established the Mary Donaldson Memorial Lecture Series in May 1967. The lectures are given annually by leaders in the field of library science or related fields. While the lectures are designed primarily for librarians in the province, they are open to the public in the belief that library trustees and friends of the libraries will also find them thought-provoking and challenging.

    Mary Donaldson Lecture - 2005 - Arthur Black
    (Saskatchewan Library Association, 2005) Black, Arthur
    Many thanks for that warm welcome. You know, when a guest speaker from out of town gets up on his hind legs to sing for his supper it is incumbent upon said speaker to say something pleasant about the location and company in which he finds himself. And with some towns and some audiences that can be a bit of a creative ... strain. I can remember once beginning a speech on a blustery winter's eve saying how pleased I was to find myself in Hamilton, Ontario in a roomful of meat packers. And I remember thinking, "Hoo, I'm going to Hell for that one."
