The Carnegie Toy Library (formerly known as the Caulfield Community Toy Library) is a non-profit community group that was established in 1985. Our mission is "to provide an extensive range of age-appropriate quality toys to member borrowers". We are self funded through fundraising, council grants, volunteer services, membership fees, donations and levies. To become a member is as simple as completing an application form and paying an annual fee. The Toy Library caters for children aged 6 months to 6 years, but has family games as well. There are approximately 2000 toys available in a range of categories. The types of toys available include Little Tikes (cars, kitchens, workbenches), construction toys (Lego and Duplo), costumes, games, videos, puzzles and baby toys. The Toy Library currently has approximately 300 members. By joining the Toy Library you will be able to meet other parents and have access to a wider range of play experiences for your children. You will be able to increase your children's interest / stimulation and offer greater learning opportunities and at the same time save money by borrowing rather than buying toys.
