Inclusive Play

Stonnington Toy Library believes every person in our community has the right to feel welcome, included, and valued.
We’re here to make sure everyone can enjoy our library by reducing barriers and helping each person feel supported and connected.
We celebrate people of all abilities, backgrounds, and experiences, and we’re committed to learning and improving to make our library a space where everyone belongs.

Stonnington Toy Library is proud to have been a grantee of the 2025/2026 Supported Borrowing Sessions which enabled us to open 2 additional hours a week outside of our standard hours. These sessions aimed to create an environment benefitting children and families with additional sensory needs, developmental delay and disabilities.
Sessions had a dedicated Toy Library Co-ordinator on hand to assist families.
These sessions were made possible thanks to funding from the Australian Government Department of Social Services.
