It is nearly Toy Library Awareness Week: 6th - 12 August 2007

Every child has the right to play. Toy Libraries provide vital opportunities for play for every child. Play is crucial because it is the first step in children's education and development. Toy Libraries provide access to a wide variety of toys that are otherwise unaffordable to many families.

As children play, they learn. Variety in the items they play with broadens their learning. What they learn is shown in their physical, emotional and social development. This is especially important in the early years of life. Toy Libraries play an active role in preschool education and child development.

Join a Toy Library gives your child the chance to try a huge range of different toys - without costing you a lot of money. A Toy Library is an excellent way of finding toys that are exactly right for each stage of your child's development.
