Terms & Conditions

• A loan receipt will be issued which includes a list of all toys, their contents, and return date.
• If you would like to reserve a toy, there is a one-off charge of $2 per toy for this service.
• Toys can be borrowed for a 2 week period. Some toys can be renewed once. Toys have to be returned on time. For late toys there will be a charge of $1 per toy per week.
• Toys should be checked for any damage or missing parts within 48 hours of being taken home and any issues should be reported to the librarian.  Otherwise any toys returned damaged or with missing parts will be the member's responsibility.
• There is a $5 charge for lost pieces. The toy loan can be renewed allowing more time to find the missing pieces if requested by the member. If the piece is returned at a later time during the membership the charges will be refunded.
• If a toy is damaged and deemed unusable by the librarian the toy will need to be replaced or paid for by the member.
• Members will not disguise breakages or repair toys themselves as this can result in safety issues for other children.
• Toys must be returned cleaned.
• All members must use helmets while riding Toy Library balance bikes, scooters or bicycles. The member is responsible to provide their own helmet and ensure it is worn during use. The Toy Library has some helmets available to members.
• Rostered members on an annual membership are required to absolve 4 duties per membership/ year. There has to be one duty in each term.
• All rostered members (annual/ casual) can choose their preferred shift and will receive notice by the end of each term via email. We also send a text reminder a few days before the shift. Shifts can be swapped with other members but it is the responsibility of the member to organise this. A member cannot schedule more than one shift each term unless considered voluntarily. Any rostered duty outstanding after expiration of membership still needs to be done.
• The rostered member (annual/ casual) needs to be on time for their shift. If the shift is missed without giving the librarian 48 hours notice there will be a $40 fine and the shift will be re-rostered.
• Roster duties do not have to be absolved by the member themselves, but other family members including grandparents or family friends can absolve them on their behalf.
• In case of any unexpected circumstances, please talk to us. We are all parents and know things can happen and we will find a solution together.
• Any person ceasing to be a member of the Library for any cause whatsoever nevertheless remains liable to the Library for all subscriptions, roster duties and other moneys which may have become due by such persons prior to termination of such membership.
• The membership is not transferable.
• Membership or renewal of membership can be refused at the Executive Committee's discretion.
