Rosters

Members can nominate whether they would prefer to do rosters on Tuesday afternoons or Saturday mornings. Depending on membership numbers, members usually only have to complete a roster once every two months.

Borrowing

Toys are borrowed for a maximum two week period, with no extensions.
Annual membership entitles members to borrow for each child included in the membership:

• 4 toys from any of the categories

And each family can also borrow;

• 1 Parent resource
• 1 Education parent resource
• 1 Red dot toy

It is essential that you count the number of pieces for each toy either prior to borrowing or as soon as you get home and ensure that the toy is either complete or matches the details on the toy list.

Returning Toys

Members are responsible for returning toys cleaned and complete, no later than two weeks from when they were borrowed. Each toy is re-counted upon return to ensure that no pieces have gone missing during the borrowing period. Any damaged or missing pieces are recorded by the member on roster.

Fines

Missing Pieces -$2.00 per piece, with $1 refundable upon its return Late Toys - $1 per toy, per week late Damaged Toys – cost of replacement (unless damage is because of normal wear and tear)

Membership Fees

All funds raised go back into buying new toys for the library. People are welcome to come and have a look around before making a decision to join. You don't have to be a parent to use our library, we have grandparents who use our library too. We unfortunately don’t have EFTPOS or Credit Card facilities available for payment of membership fees.

Hygiene/Safety

In the interest of our children’s' health, members are to clean toys and disinfect, where appropriate, before returning them to the Toy Library. Please keep packaging bags away from children to avoid suffocation. It is your responsibility to check the suitability of toys for your children. The Toy Library accepts no liability for any injuries sustained whilst using the toys

Supervision

Children are encouraged to come and choose their toys but it is essential that you supervise your children whilst visiting the Toy Library to ensure their safety and prevent toys being removed from their packaging leading to pieces being misplaced.

Committee

The committee is made up of members, like yourself, who meet approximately every 6 weeks to discuss the running of the Toy Library. You are more than welcome to attend a meeting, join the committee or help out in any other way you may think useful. There is a list of current committee members on the notice board at the toy library.
