In November 2015, My husband and I made a presentation to the Markham Public Library Board asking them to consider introducing a section in the library where no food is allowed in order to be more welcoming to families dealing with food allergies.   In response to our presentation the Markham Public Library piloted a food free section in the Cornell Library in Markham. Read about it here:

After the success of the pilot program the Markham Public Library Board extended this food free children’s section to all of its’ libraries!
