Willetton Toy Library

WTL Toy Overview

The Willetton Toy library currently has 500 toys that can be borrowed by library members. The library offers a wide range of toys that cater for children between the ages of 0 - 6 years. Through government grants and fundraising we strive to keep our library up-to-date with popular and educational toys.

Advantages for toy library members

Introduces children and parents to toys that they may not have been aware of.
Children often get bored with the same toy. With the toy library you can change toys within a two week period.
Gives you the chance to try before you buy. Sometimes a toy you think will be a hit ends up being left untouched.
Some of the more expensive toys have a small period of age appropriateness. No more wasting money on those outgrown toys. As children grow out of a toy, simply borrow a more age appropriate toy.
