This is exactly why we do what we do. 💚

When kids know they can borrow instead of buy, something shifts. Less pestering at the shops, less clutter at home, and so much more room for imagination.

Come and see what your family could borrow next. Find your local toy library at toylibraries.org.au

Did you know that donations to the toy library are TAX DEDUCTIBLE!?

Simply follow the link in this post and list Yarra Ranges Community Toy Libraries ( or Montrose/ Mount Evelyn Toy Library) as the beneficiary. You will receive a receipt for tax deduction for donations over $2. Every little bit helps!

Every child deserves the chance to play, explore and belong 🚀

As we approach the end of the financial year, we're inviting families, businesses and supporters to help keep play accessible in communities across Australia.

A donation to a toy library helps create opportunities for children and families to borrow quality toys, discover new ways to play, connect with others and be part of a welcoming community.

Whether you choose to support a specific toy library or toy libraries more broadly, your donation helps strengthen the places where play, learning and connection happen every day.

You can make a one-off donation or choose ongoing support. All donations over $2 are tax-deductible.

Because toy libraries are about more than toys. They're about creating opportunities for children, families and communities to thrive through play.

🔗 Donate before 30 June via our Give Now page: https://www.givenow.com.au/toylibraries
