By borrowing toys, not only are you keeping things interesting for your child but you are also helping to reduce your environmental impact, saving money and supporting a local charity.

But....Knaresborough Toy Library are so much more than a library! In addition to the borrowing service, they also run play sessions at their Knaresborough base and elsewhere. The play sessions are fun and friendly, incorporating craft activities, messy play, role play, physical fun, stories and songs. They also offer hot drinks & a biscuit for grown ups. Play sessions are planned and set up to facilitate and encourage you to engage in play with your child. There are also friendships formed and much support offered, so there is a huge Toy Library ‘family’.

Toy Borrowing is available through a click and collect service. You can swap your toys during our play sessions & additionally on the 1st & 3rd Saturday of the month. Either way, please book to borrow so that your toys will be ready for you.
