Frequently Asked Questions
​1. Are the toys cleaned?
Yes. Before a toy is loaned out, the toy is wiped with a diluted solution of antiseptic or disinfectant. Members are asked to return toys in the same condition in which they are received.

​2. I am having a party, can I reserve a toy?
Yes you can. To reserve a specific toy simply email a request to the Toy Library and our coordinators will confirm availability. Alternatively, you can reserve toys online by logging in to your Toy Library profile here (if you don't know your login details, you can access them here).

​3. We are going on holidays, can I suspend my membership?
Yes, please contact us to arrange a temporary suspension of your membership.

​4. What happens if a toy breaks or pieces are missing?
There is a cost of $2 for each piece lost or broken from a toy. If a toy is lost or damaged beyond repair, you will be asked to cover the cost of replacement.
