 A small charge is made for the loan of each toy in addition, to enable us to continue to buy new or replacement toys. After paying for the purchase cost prices are further reduced.

NEW MEMBERS
Members are asked to complete a form when enrolling. Information given on these forms may be kept in computerised records for the sole use of the Toy Library. We will need to update these records on an annual basis when you renew your membership, in accordance with the Data Protection Act.

CARE OF TOYS
Every effort is made to ensure that all toys and play equipment in the Toy Library is kept in good repair. The Toy Library is not responsible for any damage or injury resulting from the use of any toy once borrowed or taken from the premises. Before returning the toys please ensure that all parts and pieces are present and that the toy is clean. Please repair any boxes that are broken and attach a note to the toy if any part is missing or broken. Please also tell a staff member when you return the toy.

BROKEN TOYS
Naturally, toys will wear out with use. However, if a toy is unexpectedly returned in such a state that it cannot be lent out again, the member may be asked to make a donation towards the cost of a replacement. The amount requested would be at the discretion of the Library staff.

LATE RETURNS
A renewal charge (equivalent to 4 weeks rental) will be made once a toy is returned more than 7 days late and again after each interval of 4 weeks

RUNNING OF THE TOY LIBRARY
The Toy Library is run entirely by volunteers. It is requested that each member will volunteer for at least one Saturday morning session a year. A committee member or trained Key holder is always on site to ensure the session runs smoothly, and helpers are given four free toy vouchers as a thank you for each session attended.
