Toy Libraries

von Mayrhauser, Heidi.

Cottrell, M.  (2013).  Toy libraries: A place to play.  American Libraries, 44(11/12), 14-15.


Length: 2 pages

Notes Summary and Evaluation:  This article discusses current toy libraries for children with disabilities.  It specifically focuses on the Palm Harbor Library in Florida.  It also talks about the origins of toy libraries in the Great Depression.  Finally, it includes steps and tips for starting your own toy library.  I appreciated the examples of toys for particular disabilities and that the article gives practical suggestions like budgeting, training staff, and the exact company to start with.
