What are the benefits of joining?

1. Borrowing privileges of more than 250 toys and games for a whole year!
2. Playgroups are free but supporting Cabane à Jeux’s toy library means we have more to offer at playgroup including access to the toys, space, coffee etc.
3. Member families enjoy reduced rates on some of our monthly events such as felting, art for little ones, and field trips where we need to charge a participation fees.

Donations

Thanks to toy donors from all over La Pêche who came out to our August 2008 Toy Drive and many who have dropped toys off year round. You helped make this possible! Donations of gently used, safe, quality toys are always welcome to help expand the toy and game collection. We will also lend baby gear and sports equipment, space permitting or arrange for them to find a home with our local second-hand stores and charitable organizations. Kindly bring them inside the basement during regular library openings (every Thursday & second Saturday of each month 9:30 – 11am). For more information on our toy collection, go to  Joujouthèque / Toy Library.
