Not all toy libraries are the same and there is no age limit for play, one is never too old to play.

Some cater to the paediatrics and some to the geriatrics and some for the ages in-between. What age does your #ToyLibrary cater for?

📚 8 September 2020 is International Literacy Day ✏

Literacy is described simply as having the ability to read and write.
Literacy can be taught and expanded through play.

How have you managed to develop literacy skills through play at your Toy Library?

Positive leadership and conflict resolution are two important aspects of a toy librarian. As well as being dynamic and creative.

What other competencies do you feel are important for a toy librarian?
