A new WMFC Lending Library has just been created by Donna Roszell and Arlene Hinchcliffe. Initially it will be for the WM Toronto Support Group but later it may be extended to other WMFC members. The Library consists of (a) CDs, pamphlets, booklets, and books which may be borrowed and (b) information sheets which may be simply taken and kept. Donna will bring the library to each Toronto Support Group meeting. Borrowed items may be kept until the next meeting. The library list is below. If you have any questions or suggestions, please contact Donna Roszell by email at roszells@sympatico.ca or by telephone at (519) 855-6101.
