Councillor Sarah Marshall

Since 2010 I have been licensed with the Law Society of Ontario and currently practice personal injury law at Leone Murray LLP, serving the GTA and surrounding communities.

Throughout my life, libraries have provided me with a place to study and conduct research, as well as a place to meet friends. The traditional notion of a library as a quiet place has been replaced with the modern concept of the library as a central location encouraging the community to get involved. As a member of the Milton Public Library Board, I hope to encourage further new concepts within the library and increase resources in the library that will be used by the Milton community.

My husband and I have lived in Milton since 2013 and are currently raising our two children in this vibrant community. My sons have been engaged with MPL's programming from a very young age and have always enjoyed our trips to the library to pick out books.
