The Meg's Toy Box Community
We currently have over 100 active members in our library. We love welcoming new members and invite parents, grandparents and other carers to join our community too.
Joining our toy library is really easy. Come and visit us during our opening hours and one of our friendly volunteers will help you with your membership.
We rely on volunteers to run our library and we ask all our members to help out at some time during their membership journey. We have flexible volunteering options to suit all families and you will get to enjoy perks, like free borrowing, when you lend a hand.
We look forward to seeing you soon!
