Member Testimonials

"I joined the MVTL 6 months ago after learning about it from my maternal child health nurse. We live in a small apartment, so don't have room for lots of toys. This is the perfect way to keep my baby entertained with new and stimulating toys, without cluttering my house or spending heaps of money, we love it!"

Sarah

"I wish I knew about Toy Libraries when I was a young Mum, because now I am a Grandmother and I love to bring my grand daughter here to choose toys for nannies house when she comes to stay. We come toegther to choose the toys and then I bring back when she goes home, so wonderful"

Joyce
