Volunteering

Berowra Toy Library is entirely dependent on its volunteers and we are in constant need of more volunteer librarians to join the roster. The commitment requested is approximately two hours each month. Duties involve checking the toys in and out as they are borrowed and returned. You are welcome to bring your children along - there are plenty of toys for them to play with! It is a great place to meet people and great friendships have been made both between adults and between the children as the morning turns into an informal playgroup. Volunteers may borrow an extra toy each visit, borrow the toys for longer periods and get to see and borrow the high demand toys. Volunteers and Committe members are also able to borrow the new Jumping Castle. Please ask to speak to our volunteer co-ordinator if you are interested.
