Does your child love the toy library, but gets overwhelmed when it's too busy or noisy? 🙊🙉

We are running supported borrow sessions every 1st and 3rd Tuesday until the end of November from 1:00 - 2:30pm at South Melbourne. 📅
These sessions are tailored for individuals who require a low-sensory environment and additional support in a one-on-one library setting.

These sessions were made possible thanks to the City of Port Phillip Community Support Grant.

We're refreshing the Library Action Plan 2027-31 and want to hear from you! 📚

Our libraries are more than places to borrow books. They are welcoming spaces for learning, creativity and connection.

Your feedback will help ensure our five library branches continue to meet the needs of our growing and changing community.

Feedback closes: 11:59 pm, Sunday 13 September

Episode 5 of The Toy Library Effect is now live!

🪀Ever wondered who really knows a toy library inside and out?

In the newest episode of The Toy Library Effect, we hear from the toy librarians and volunteers who welcome families through the door every week, the ones who know which toys get borrowed again and again, and quietly understand exactly what families need.

Every toy library looks a little different, but they all share the same purpose: helping families access quality play experiences.

A huge thank you to this episode's guests:
- Eila from Kalamunda Toy Library
- Colleen from Knox Toy Library
- Kathryn at Wyndham Little Buddies
- Catherine from Kingston Toy Library
- Alisha from Grovedale Toy Library
- Heather from Burnside Toy Library

Come meet some of the amazing humans from toy libraries across Australia 🎧
