Get Involved
Whether you are looking for a local volunteer opportunity or interested in donating toys to the library we are always grateful for the support we receive
Donate Toys
We always welcome the donation of quality toys in good condition. If you have toys to donate please get in touch by email with a photo of the toys and we can let you know if it will be suitable.
​
Please ensure donated toys are:
-
in good working condition
-
durable and easy to clean (no soft toys, books, dolls)
-
easy to transport in a car
-
are complete with all pieces (we sometimes accept individual pieces such as Fisher Price Little People, ELC figurines, Duplo etc where we can use them with our existing sets)
​
Once confirmed by email donated toys can be dropped off during our regular opening hours on Saturdays.
