FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What if I return my toys late?
We dont charge late fees, but request you return promptly, renew online or advise us via email mtoylib@gmail.com if there is a reason for your late return of toys. Toys may be renewed once only.
What should I do in regards to cleaning toys?
Please return all items you borrow clean and ready to be played with by the next family. This includes outdoor toys.
How do I know which Toys are best for my child?
All toys are labelled with a suggested age group, and some toys also have warnings about small pieces, laces etc. We encourage families to check that the toys they borrow are safe for their child.
What if I break a toy?
We understand that accidents happen, however if toys are broken members may need to pay a partial cost for a replacement.
Can I donate toys?
We can accept good quality toys that meet Australian Toy Safety Standards but we do not accept any fabric or soft toys.
Do I need to know anything about safety?
Parents and carers are responsible for looking after their children while at the toy library and that borrowed toys are always used safely.
Please note that it is the law in Victoria for all bike and scooter riders to wear a helmet when riding. When you borrow bikes and scooters from the toy library it is your responsibility to make sure that your child always wears a helmet when riding.
Do you offer gift memberships?
Yes! Feel free to get in touch with us by visiting us at the Toy Library or via email to discuss your needs and we’d be happy to help.
