Start a Toy Library

Starting a toy library is easy and a lot of fun! Toy Libraries Australia does not run toy libraries because we believe that a toy library must be part of the local community. Our focus is supporting you to start your toy library.

Our new member services include:

Start your engines: Small group mentoring and networking for people starting a toy library
Member development support: One-on-one support from our state member development team
Toy Community: Access to toy purchasing at wholesale and discounted rates
Online training: Monthly webinars and access to recordings of previous training on a wide range of topics
Member resources: An extensive library of resources with practical guides, quality standards, and policies
Insurance: Affordable coverage designed specifically for toy libraries

Fee-for-service offering

We offer a project management service for councils and NFP organisations starting a toy library, including setting up a toy library management system, purchasing toys, preparing toys for borrowing, establishing operating processes, and training staff and volunteers.

If you're thinking of starting a toy library (or even if you're well on the way and could use some extra support) we'd love to hear from you. Please email us info@toylibraries.org.au for more information.
