The Upper Beaconsfield Toy Library has been in operation since 1983 servicing local and surrounding areas within Cardinia Shire.
Membership provides parents, grandparents, carers and community groups who work with young children affordable access to an array of safe, age-appropriate, quality toys, puzzles, games, sporting equipment and costumes to encourage and assist children during early learning and development through sharing, imagination and play.
The library is funded via fundraising, community and volunteer grants, membership fees and donations and is managed by a voluntary committee of interested members with assistance from its members.
Our toy selection mainly caters for children from birth to approximately six years with some suitable for older age groups. New and exciting toys are added all year round, you're sure to find that ideal toy.
We are located in the Community Room at the Upper Beaconsfield Community Centre, 10 Salisbury Road, Upper Beaconsfield.
Come in and browse or have a chat to us while your children have a 'toyriffic' time!
