What's new?

Coronavirus update

The wellbeing of our members and staff is paramount. We know that our service is invaluable to families spending more time at home. Our aim is to stay open until directed otherwise by the Department of Health. Until then we will continue to lend toys while taking proactive measures to safeguard our BTL community.

 

As a reminder, all our toys are cleaned with a disinfectant solution before being loaned out, and members are expected to thoroughly clean toys before returning them. This is to protect the wellbeing of our wonderful librarians and the BTL community at large.

​

In addition to our usual hygiene measures, we are now quarantining all returned toys for one week. The toys are then sanitised with a diluted bleach solution before they are placed back on the library shelves.

​

We ask our members to adhere to the following procedures when borrowing toys.

 

If you are not self-isolating and have no signs of illness: you may continue to visit the library to collect and return toys. However we ask that members keep their visits brief, and do not linger in the space or play with the other toys on-site. We suggest browsing our online toy catalogue and reserving the toys you want before your visit. (If you don't know your toy library login details, you can find them here).

​

If you are self-isolating but don't have any flu-like symptoms: you may keep your toys until the end of your isolation period. Please email us and we will extend your loan for the necessary time.

​

If you are self-isolating and do have flu-like symptoms: please wait one full week after all family members have stopped exhibiting symptoms before you return your toys. We are happy to extend your loan for as long as is required, just send us an email.

​

We appreciate your co-operation in keeping our service viable and safe over this time. We will post updates here as needed, but keep an eye on our Instagram and Facebook pages for ideas on how to entertain and engage children at home.

 

Keep well,

​

Your toy library committee

What's a toy library?

 

It's like a regular library but with toys instead of books. Our members pay a subscription and are not required to volunteer (although it is always welcome).

​

Toy libraries are an environmentally friendly, money saving, community building way to make sure you always have new and engaging toys for your children

​
