When you have twins in the family of course you pick twin babies to take home from the toy library!

Toy libraries aren't just for parents💙

Grandparents, carers, early childhood educators, playgroups, foster families, parents trying out a toy before they buy one, or anyone keen to cut down on clutter and waste. There are lots of reasons people join a toy library.

As one grandparent told us, it means their granddaughter always has something new to play with when she visits.

Some toy libraries even have memberships just for grandparents, so the fun can carry on at Nan and Pop's place too.

However you play, there's a place for you at your local toy library.

Find one near you at toylibraries.org.au

When you're nearly 9, and have had plenty of your own dolls houses over the years. But you're still so excited to take home the same dollhouse from the toy library you've borrowed many times since you were 2. Didn't even make it past the entrance before all the accessories were out of the box.

NO TOYS & TUNES TODAY
There will be no Toys & Tunes session this morning. We apologise for the inconvenience. As there will be no sessions over the school break, T&T will be back on 5th of October!

One week left of term!

JOIN OUR TOY LIBRARY TEAM!

Love the toy library? We’d love you to join our friendly volunteer committee! It’s a great way to get involved, meet other local parents, and help keep our community toy library running smoothly.

We’re currently looking for a new Social Media Coordinator who can help us showcase the amazing toys at the toy library. This role will work closely with our Secretary who currently also manages all our marketing.

No special experience needed, so don’t worry if you’ve never done something like this before, we’ll guide you through it. As parents, we also know life with kids is busy, so everything is designed to be manageable and family-friendly.

If you’re even a little bit curious, send us a quick message - we’d love to chat (no pressure at all!).
