- Your membership is either; annual, six months, or three months.
- You are responsible for cleaning and checking the condition and description of the toys (and all parts). Please inform the duty librarian of any discrepancies so the toy record can be updated.
- You may choose to reserve a toy ($10 per annum ) or the party table and chairs item for an additional hire fee ($10 or $25)
- Members are to provide their own batteries for any battery operated toys.
- Membership is non-transferable or refundable (unless the member encounters severe illness or material hardship and as agreed by the Committee. Applications for this must be made in writing and will be reviewed on a case by case basis).
