Welcome to the Belgrave and Surrounds Toy Library!

About Us

Belgrave and Surrounds Toy Library (formerly Belgrave South Toy Library) is a not for profit organisation run solely by volunteer members and overseen by its commitee made up of volunteer members.

Members have access to a wide range of toys , puzzles, games, costumes and play equipment that you can borrow and return - like you would with books at a library. Toys can be borrowed for a period of two weeks at a time. You can borrow up to 6 items (4 toys + 2 puzzles) at any one time with a membership. Return and borrow toys as many times as you like! All families, grandparents and carers are welcome to join.

We also offer a Junior Party Pack and an Indoor Soft Play Party Pack that members and non-members can hire for an additional fee.
