25.01.2022 Shark attack! Halloween costume sorted!! #cottesloetoylibrary Great to see new members signing up today. Don't forget to give us your new toy suggestions by commenting on this post. We also still need to fill some committee positions so get in touch if you can help out.

25.01.2022 Some new shiney red wheels for our bike fans! Lovin' the ringing bell for extra fun! ...................................................................Committee members needed: in order to keep running smoothly this year we really need to fill a couple of roles. They involve a very tiny time commitment and are things you could quickly do on a laptop at home. Please please put your hand up to volunteer. Perks include free membership and a key to the library so you can pick up and return toys when you want

24.01.2022 Suns out so its a triple cone kinda day #melissaanddoug icecream counter #cottesloetoylibrary ....................................................................... We still have some positions left to fill on the CTL committee so please get in touch if you can help out.

23.01.2022 The Toy Library is closed but as a community we can still share ideas to entertain our kids at home. First up is P.E with Joe. Our entire family has been doing this together when we get up and it really helps to kick start the day in a positive way #stayathome #staysafe

23.01.2022 Oops haven't posted for a while But found this great vid of our NEW John Deere 'Build-a-Tracker' set (added to #cottesloetoylibrary earlier this year). Made of chunky parts...perfect for little hands to assemble. Members: we're still looking to fill some committee positions so please PM if you're able to help. We really need some help with the Membership Coordinator role.

23.01.2022 The all important 'belly button check' for our new Miniland Asian baby doll with @camcam_cph clothing accessories. @minilanddollsaus educational doll collections are said to help kids comprehend the concepts of family, population groups, the basic rules of relationships and coexistence, respect for racial and sexual diversity. Look out for this doll on our toy shelves now ................ ........................................................ Members: can anyone help out with some CTL membership admin?? We need your help to make the start of the year smooth for everyone. PM for details. Thanks!!! #cottesloetoylibrary
