Conditions

The loan period is for three weeks. Items may, however, be exchanged earlier. If a toy is damaged/lost whist out on loan the member is responsible for its repair/replacement cost. Failure to pay these costs may result in the member’s suspension.

All training provided through our very easy computer system.

Rosters Plus one other duty to toy library per year. this may be helping out at a promotional event, participating in a cleaning and maintenance session, stocktake, or a fundraising opportunity.

Penalties do apply for missed rosters, so please be sure to attend on your nominated roster date.
