So many reasons to love your local toy libraries 😍

👉 For every $1 invested in a toy library, $4.22 of social value is created.

That’s the headline finding from our new independent report, Valuing Play: The Social Impact of Toy Libraries in Australia.

We’ve always seen the impact in our communities. Now we have the evidence to back it up.
The research shows toy libraries help:

🧸 Build strong home learning environments
💛 Reduce financial stress for families
🤝 Increase social connection and community participation
🌱 Support sustainability through sharing and reuse

All families reported benefits, including families raising children with disability or developmental delay.

Toy libraries are a low-cost, high-impact investment in children, families and communities.
