We are a not-for-profit incorporated association, owned by our members and we are funded mainly by members’ subscriptions and fundraising. We greatly appreciate all contributions from our local community so that children can continue to learn and grow through play.

Below are some ways you can contribute

Make Monetary donation.

Make a Tax Deductible Donation at tax time

Our donations program funds our family sponsorships for families in need. These circumstances may be temporary such as illness or longer term such as kinship caring or unemployment. Either way their children deserve access to quality play materials and we are best placed to meet that need! 

Help us fund 20 sponsored memberships this year.

Donation of toys

We are always looking for wonderful toys, games and puzzles in good working condition. Donations are received by appointment only, So we can check toys for safety and suitability for Toy Library. We do not accept soft toys, baby equipment or single use items such as craft sets. Please contact us by email on stonntoylib@gmail.com with a description or photo of the items before you bring items in. We can then let you know when and how to donate them.

Note: please don't leave donations outside the library as they may be stolen or damaged.
