I’m a volunteer at the Denver Toy Library, the only one left in Colorado. We have to replace 400 toys since we need a certificate now for each toy to prove the lead levels.Toy manufactures have not been helpfull with providing this information.Replacing about 400 toys is a huge undertaking and very expensive. We are only a handfull of volunteers. Any suggetions??? I would hate to see our Toy Library close.

I am in the process of starting a toy library in York, PA. I agree that it is a great idea, but it is not nearly as easy as this post makes it sound! I have been working for over 6 months to gather the necessary licenses, insurance, etc. We are set to open later this month and I am thrilled and very nervous!

I’ll start things off with my own local toy library. The toy library in Fredericton, New Brunswick, is located at Wilmot United Church downtown. Open for free play time and toy borrowing from 10am-noon Wednesdays and Saturdays. Contact Karen Flinn at 474-1534.
