Important update for our lovely Merry Go Round Toy Library community

Due to a family emergency and being unable to secure cover staff, the toy library will be open tomorrow, 12th May, from 12–1pm for collections only.

If you were planning to return toys, please enjoy them for an extra week free of charge — I’ll look forward to seeing you on 19th May instead.

If you have a collection booked, I’ve contacted (or attempted to contact) you separately to ask if you can collect between 12 and 1pm.

If you haven’t booked but have something in mind you’d like to borrow, please do pop in between 12 and 1pm. There won’t be a play session tomorrow, but I can still organise any borrows for you.

I’m so sorry for the disruption and really appreciate your understanding. I’m train‑reliant, so please forgive me if the trains misbehave!

Best wishes,
Andrea
