What else do I need to know?

Battery toys do not have their batteries replenished by the toy library. Please use your own batteries from home and remove them before returning to the toy library. We recommend using rechargeable batteries to minimize the impact on landfill. We test battery functions work with fresh batteries but please let us know if this is not the case.

If you are borrowing a bike, balance bike or scooter your child must wear a helmet when riding it. This is the law in Queensland and a toy library insurance requirement. It is the parent/carer’s responsibility to supply a helmet.
