The May Hill Arbuthnot Lecture was established in 1969 to honor American educator May Hill Arbuthnot. The lecture is given each year by an author, artist, critic, librarian, historian or teacher who has made a significant contribution to the field of children's literature. The lectureship is awarded by the Association for Library Service to Children, a division of the American Library Association. In the past 41 years (1970-2010), 41 people have been honored with the award.
