Hello awesome toy families! Our toy librarian is a little under the weather and we, volunteers, are not available unfortunately, so today our doors will remain closed.

If you had toys due today, they will be extended for an extra week (free of charge) and we will add an extra session this coming Wednesday (5-6pm)

What you can do in the meantime:

Go to our online catalog to check all the great toys your kids might enjoy.

Place holds for those you'd like to hire next and you'll be next in line :)

Thank you for your understanding and see you soon at the Toy Library!
