LOST / DAMAGED TOY POLICY It happens to all of us! Toy library should be fun and not another stress! If something is lost or damaged, please tell us when you return the toy. Missing pieces will be listed on the bag. Bring it back IF or when you find it. We buy quality toys but they don’t last forever so please tell us if a toy is past its use by date. If a new toy (<12 months old) is damaged beyond repair or a key component is lost, talk to us and we may ask for a donation towards some of the replacement cost (worst case scenario!).
