Some nice pictures of toys that live in the Whitby Toy Library

Welcome

Whitby Toy Library is a voluntary not for profit organization which offers an important dimension to a child's development by providing for hire a wide range of educational toys and games designed to aid mental, physical and social development.

We actively promote play as being essential to a child. Essential to their, social, physical, psychological, and cultural development. It is widely known that children learn through play. It helps them to become more independent, develop concentration and imagination and is a key skill needed for life. Play is fun, an essential part of child development, and something to be enjoyed by the whole family.

We aim to be a place that offers a large range of well designed quality toys. A place that gives you the opportunity to borrow toys that match the stage of development that your child is at, a place to interact with other families.
