ABOUT US
The Frankston Toy Library is an invaluable community service that has been assisting young families in Frankston since 1977.
We provide families, community groups and organisations that work with children an array of quality toys, games, activities and equipment for a minimal annual fee.
We are one of the largest services of our kind in Australia. We are also one of the largest provider of special needs toys and resources.
We provide a hearing support program for families with children with a hearing impairment and we have reference books available for borrowing.
OUR MISSION
To provide the community with quality resources that enable learning and development through play and positive engagement with others.
We have a literacy program to encourage parents to read to their children. The program is called ‘Read Together’ and members are allowed to borrow individual books as part of their membership with Frankston Toy Library. We happily accept donations.
The Frankston Toy Library is proud that they have recently developed a special needs section. Our aim is to make much needed toys and resources readily available for parents of children with a disability. We understand the financial and emotional impact this can have on your family and we want to make our resource section available to everyone. This new department will be made possible with the financial support received from Councillor Brian Cunial and the Frankston City Council, Bendigo Bank and the Frankston Lions Club. We are seeking further donations to expand the project which is set to include a large range of toys for children with special needs such as Autism Spectrum Disorder, Cerebral Palsy, Hearing Loss, Blindness and Down Syndrome.
If you are interested in assisting with this project, please email: president@frankstontoylibrary.org.au
