OUR MISSION

Sharing Toys, Caring for the Environment

At The Toy Library, we're on a mission to make playtime more sustainable and accessible for all children. We believe that every toy deserves a second chance to bring joy and laughter into a child's life. By sharing toys within our communities, we not only reduce waste but also foster a culture of sharing and generosity.

OUR VISION

Sustainable and Accessible Play for All

Imagine a world where every child has access to a diverse array of toys while also safeguarding our planet. That's the world we envision at The Toy Library. We strive to create a future where children can explore, learn, and grow through play, all while protecting the environment for generations to come.

Why We Do What We Do

Did you know that 9 in 10 toys are made of plastic? The reality is, much of this plastic ends up in landfills, polluting our environment and harming wildlife.

We believe that by teaching children to take good care of their toys, give them away when they're no longer needed, and experience the joy of sharing, we can make a positive impact on the planet.

How We Make a Difference

By creating a giving platform where people can easily give away their pre-loved toys within their communities, we're not only extending the lifespan of toys but also promoting a culture of sustainability and generosity.

Plus, as a social enterprise, we're committed to supporting initiatives that benefit children and the environment.
