Taking Care of Toys

Each toy you borrow is a shared community treasure. Please:

  • Keep Toy Library toys separate from your own.

  • Avoid snacks or drinks during play.

  • Return toys in their bins or bags, with all pieces included.

  • Bring the toys back in general clean condition, free of dirt and sand, etc. 

  • Leave the deep cleaning for us - we use safe, eco-friendly methods for every item.

If a toy breaks or a piece goes missing, it’s okay! Just let us know when you return it. Our “Toy Doctor” can often make repairs so the fun keeps going for everyone.
