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.
