Member Rules & Responsibilities

Toy Library Etiquette

When you visit the Caulfield Community Toy Library, children are always welcome to help select a toy. However, we ask that you supervise your little ones and ensure that the contents of toy tubs and bags are not tipped over the floor and played with. After all, the toys are borrowed to play with at home. The Toy Library is not a playgroup. Please ensure that the only time that tubs or bags are opened is when you are checking that all the items are present or when checking that a toy is suitable for your child.

As there are always babies, toddlers and prams at the Toy Library (as well as expensive computer equipment), we ask that large toys are not ridden around the library.

Rostered Duty

Each family is required to complete 7 hours of rostered duty each year. Rostered duty can be completed in various ways.

• Open Toy Library sessions and assist with counting toys and entering details into the computer
• Stocktake (to be advised)
• Sewing
• Committee
• Cataloguing new toys
• Fundraising Events

Please fill in your rostered duty dates on the forms on the notice board at the back of the Toy Library. If you fail to attend any rostered duty that you have put your name down for, a fine of $10.00 per hour will be charged to you.

If you are unable to attend your scheduled rostered duty, please try and find someone else to take your place. Any sibling, family member or friend can do your rostered duty for you. If you cannot find anyone please call the Roster Co-ordinator. A minimum of 48 hours notice for any roster changes is appreciated.

If you do not complete your 7 hours of rostered duty per year, you will be charged $10.00 for each hour not completed.

For more information on rostered duty please speak to the Session Co-ordinator or just Contact Us.

Emergency Duty

The Toy Library needs a list of members who are able to perform rostered duty at short notice. If you are willing to do this, you only need to complete 6 hours of rostered duty per year and are not required to put your name down on the duty roster at the Toy Library. We will contact you if / when you are required. If you think that this would suit you, please Contact Us so we can record this against your membership details on our computer system. If you are a new member or are renewing your membership you can indicate your interest on the application / renewal form. If there is a particular session that you would prefer or alternatively any that are not suitable for you, please let us know.
