RICHMOND TOY LIBRARY
Explore, Pretend, Enjoy
Enabling affordable, diverse play and learning for young children.
COVIDSafe Plan
The Victorian Government has announced that all visitors to the toy library aged 16 or over must show proof of COVID-19 vaccination or a signed medical exemption as a condition of entry. We are required to check this every time you visit. Our venue is small with a maximum capacity of 8 (4 in the main room and 2 each in our 2 smaller rooms), please help us by:
-
Keeping your visits short.
-
Leaving little ones at home if they’ll have trouble with the above request.
-
Cleaning your toys before returning them.
-
Waiting in the foyer until someone else leaves if the library is at capacity when you arrive.
-
Visiting only when you and everyone in your household is well.
-
Wearing a mask while visiting.
If you are not vaccinated but would still like to borrow using click & collect, please contact us to arrange a time.
Thank you for your understanding.

Because it’s an exciting option for play! Your kids get to experience the pure joy of discovering new toys each week that they can explore, pretend and play with. And we know how quickly they grow, so it’s wonderful to be able to stimulate them with age-appropriate toys they may only enjoy for a short time.
Borrowing from the Toy Library:
-

Children also learn a lot through play – from problem solving to physical skills. By joining the Toy Library, your children can play with a wide variety of toys, giving them more opportunities to expand their learning experiences. And because you’re borrowing them, you don’t have to pay high prices for new toys or waste space storing toys they grow out of.
