Membership
Membership is open to anyone who encourages children to learn through play. The Toy & Resource Center serves any individual who is developmentally between birth and age six, or who may have need for the material.
An annual membership fee is charged. The fees are minimal when compared to the cost of toys, and are to help keep the library operating. The fee is determined by the type of membership you or your organization may need. For those individuals or families that financially are unable to afford a membership, a limited number of vouchers are available to help cover the costs of Toy & Resource Center membership.
Memberships to the Toy & Resource Center make creative and appreciated holiday, baby shower, birthday or teacher gifts.
