Duty
Toy Library is run mainly by volunteers, and you can contribute by completing any of the following tasks:

​

• Check the returned toys and put them back on the shelves

• Clean the returned toys

• Match missing pieces back to the toys

• Repair toys

• Help with fundraising events

• Join the committee.

These activities take place at the Toy Library during our opening sessions, in the evening, or on a weekend. Some of them you can even do from your home.

​

Overdue Toys
Overdue toys incur a fine of 50 Cents Per Toy, Per Week. If you’re unable to return toys during our opening hours, you can renew them online to extend the borrowing period.

​

Loss And Damage
Please use the toys carefully. Lost pieces will incur a minimum fee of $2 Per Piece, depending on whether the toy is still fully functional. There will be an additional donation towards the replacement or repair of any non-functional toys.

In the interest of all children’s health, please ensure that the toys you borrow are returned clean and ready for play.

​

Supporting Additional Needs

At Richmond Toy Library, we are committed to creating an inclusive, welcoming environment for all children, including those with developmental delays, Autism, ADHD, and other additional support needs. We offer a range of toys and resources specifically designed to promote sensory, fine motor, and social skills development. To help children and families feel comfortable during their visit, we’ve created a Story of Toy Library Visit that outlines what to expect when coming to the Toy Library.
