Toy library in Govan hopes to help families cope with rising costs
A new toy library in Glasgow hopes to help families cope with the cost of living crisis while encouraging people to re-use rather than throw away old playthings.
The Toy Library has an £8 monthly subscription, but also offers free membership to some lower-income families who may be struggling due to the effects of the pandemic and the increased cost of living.Managing director Kaytie Lillie hopes the library will "connect families" while making people aware that "re-used doesn't mean second best" when it comes to toys.
Many of the toys came from donations, with families giving feedback to the library about the type of toys they were looking for. Children are allowed to take home up to four toys each month. Kaytie believes this will help struggling families save money and also benefit the children's development.Good quality toys
