Future Meeting: September, 2012

Library Created for Members

The DC Metro Celiac Organization (DCMCO) has established a Library so we can provide members with the opportunity to check out books for 3-week time periods (much like your public library). We believe that this will be an excellent service for all of our members, especially those who are recently diagnosed with Celiac, a gluten allergy or those who are gluten intolerant. Although small to begin with, our intention is to grow this library through donations from members, others in the community, and by making direct requests to publishers for donations.
