I'd like to thank the Saskatchewan Library Association for inviting me to give the 2006 Mary Elizabeth Donaldson Memorial Lecture. While I'm not a librarian, I am a librarian groupie, and I hope that this will qualify me to contribute something to your work as librarians. I'm also the Toronto Public Library's first storyteller-inre side n c e, a position created by Ken Setterington, the Child and Youth Advocate at Toronto Public Library, and a fellow believer in the value of storytelling.
