About our Toy Library
Our Story

Manningham Toy Library

The Manningham Toy Library is a not-for-profit incorporated organisation owned by its members. The library is managed by a Committee that employs a Toy Library Coordinator, with members sharing roster duties.

We rely on our members to ensure the smooth running of the toy library and to keep member fees to a minimum.

Manningham Council supports the toy library by providing us with a premises and promotion, however we rely on member fees and fundraising to cover our running costs.

Our Library

Promoting fun, education and community!

Located at the end of a Swanston Street in Lower Templestowe, we share our facilities with Lower Templestowe Primary School and next to a leafy park. Manningham Council supports the toy library by providing us with these premises.

The toy library is open all year except for the Easter weekend and during the Christmas holidays when we are
closed for about 4 weeks

MTL Committee

What is the Toy Library committee?

The committee consists of toy library members and is a constitutional requirement of the toy library.

The committee makes decisions about the every day running of the toy library, employs a part-time coordinator, helps choose new toys to purchase and runs events such as open days and messy play events.

The committee meets around every 6 weeks in the evening. All members are welcome and encouraged to join the committee and get involved.

To find out more information and what would be required to join the committee, contact the coordinator to ask for more details!
