17.01.2022 On World Environment Day we're revisiting an important reason to join a toy library - reducing your family's environmental impact. "If we want children to valu...e relationships over stuff, we have to be intentional about the way we bring it into their lives. The way we buy will teach. I beg you, for the good of your children and this planet, please stop buying plastic crap." Thanks becoming minimalist.

15.01.2022 Geelong West Toy Library committee has decided to close the Toy library this Saturday (21st March) until further notice. Check your email for the full update. We will extend all memberships for the duration of the closure and will automatically extend borrowing times for the toys currently out on loan. We'll let you know when we're back open. In the meantime enjoy your bonus time playing with your toys!... Thank you for your understanding and look after yourselves.

15.01.2022 Concerned about how you're going managing home learning with young ones? Remember this important perspective from WeAreTeachers. Be gentle on yourself, your children and your teachers. Stop to play, explore or rest where you can. There is value in connection and everyday activities.

10.01.2022 It's poll time! Dear members, The good ol' jumping castle has brought much joy to our families ..but it is now ready for retirement. So, if we buy a brand new one...would you hire it? Cost would likely be around $45 per hire/ week for current members. (A lot cheaper than commercial hire)
