LOSS, BREAKAGE & SAFETY

Each time you return toys, they are checked and marked off your card. Please report any problems with the toy to the Committee Member/Team Leader on duty.

• Breakage - if you have broken something, DON'T PANIC! We realise that some toys will break as a result of normal wear and tear. However, if we consider the damage to have been caused by misuse, a fine will be charged. If a piece of a toy has been broken it may need to be repaired in a special way to ensure it is still safe to use. Please do not attempt repairs yourself.

• Lost pieces - you will be asked to re-borrow the toy for a further two weeks so as to locate the piece. If not found after that time we have no choice but to charge a small fine. If the piece is found at a later date, a partial refund is given. Please see “Schedule of Fees and Fines” posted around the Library for full detail.

• Please ensure puzzles are securely wrapped upon return to prevent pieces falling out during storage.

• Breakage or loss of entire toy - the Committee deals with this on a case-by case basis. Lastly, please do not allow pets to play with our toys.

• Safety - Some toys contain small pieces. Please choose carefully if you have a very young child. We recommend the use of helmets with tricycles and other ride-on toys.
