Bendigo Toy Library is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing a wide range of toys for children from birth to school age. With over 1500 toys available, the library operates on a membership basis where members can borrow toys, take them home, and return them when due. In addition to traditional toys, the library also offers Party Packs for special occasions or fun days with the kids, providing a cost-effective and space-saving solution for parents and carers.
Founded on the principle of promoting the art of play, Bendigo Toy Library encourages children to explore, learn, and grow through interactive and imaginative play experiences. The library operates similar to a traditional lending library, with the added benefit of offering a diverse selection of toys ranging from puzzles to water play equipment. Members are required to pay an annual fee and volunteer periodically, fostering a sense of community and shared responsibility among participants.
As a valuable resource for families in the Bendigo community, Bendigo Toy Library aims to alleviate the financial burden and storage challenges associated with children’s toys. By providing access to a rotating collection of toys, the library ensures that children can continuously engage with new and stimulating playthings without the need for constant purchasing. With Stay and Play sessions, Party Packs, and a commitment to member involvement, Bendigo Toy Library remains a cornerstone of educational and recreational support for families in the region.
