This weekend we are WELCOMING MEMBERS BACK to our Toy Library!

After too long with our doors firmly closed, we are so excited to move into the next phase of ‘COVID normal.’

We have been advised by Toy Libraries Australia of the strict guidelines we must adhere to in order to open our Toy Library to our members.

Here is what you need to know before arriving at our Saturday session at Spring Gully or Monday at Long Gully.

YOU CAN COME IN TO BROWSE

That’s right, no more Click and Collect, no more appointments!

ONE OUT, ONE IN

In order to adhere to strict number restrictions, we will allow each member into the toy library for about five minutes to select their toys (don’t forget the bonus puzzle!). Once they are done, the next member can come in. If you do need to wait, we ask for your patience and understanding. At Spring Gully, returns will be completed outside, so no need to wait to go in.

LEAVE KIDS AT HOME

This one stings! We are asking visitors to please leave children at home if possible. Babies contained in prams/ slings/ capsules are permitted. Older kids unable to be contained will need to be very closely supervised to ensure they aren’t touching the toys as this could lead to contamination (we know – very difficult! That’s why it’s easiest to leave them at home!). Please do not leave children in the car.

HYGIENE RULES STILL APPLY

Hand sanitising prior to entry, mask wearing and toy washing are all requirements of borrowing from the Toy Library.

VOLUNTEERS STILL NEEDED

We would still love members to help us run shifts, however, as volunteers are unable to bring kids, we understand this may not be possible for a lot of families. If you can commit to a kid-free Saturday or Monday morning in the next few weeks, we’d be delighted to have you.

RETURN TOYS TO EITHER CAMPUS

Borrowed from Spring Gully but can only get to Long Gully, or vice versa? No worries, drop off your toys wherever it is most convenient for you. Party Packs can only be borrowed and returned from Spring Gully.

Please note this information is correct as of 12 November 2020, however it is subject to change – please keep track of social media for recent updates.
