2009 Current Membership Status

Our library is now full for the year and we are putting interested families on our waiting list. The library closes for 2009 at the end of Nov and will reopen in February 2010. In December we will post or email out 2010 membership application forms and library guidelines to all our existing members and all those on our waiting list. Those that return their application form with their payment over the summer break will be set up on our computer system and be able to loan toys from Saturday February 13th.

We allocate memberships on a first come, first served basis so families on the waiting list have exactly the same chance of a place as those who have been previous members.

To get onto our waiting list you can: either visit the library when it is open (Wed or Sat 9.30 – 11.30am excluding public holiday weekends) or email greylynn.toylibrary@gmail.com with “please add me to your waiting list” in the subject line and giving us: your name, postal address and contact phone number. We will then add you to the list and contact you again in December.

It’s easy to join

  • Download and read our guidelines and membership form (below).
  • Decide what kind of membership is going to suit your family.
  • Print, fill out and sign your membership form (or you can come into the library and pick up one there). Circle the fee applicable to your membership type and the month in which you are joining.
  • Come into the library with your chequebook or cash (sorry no eftpos or credit card facilities) and your filled out membership form and we will get you registered.  You’ll be able to loan toys straight away. 
  • If you are joining up over our closed, summer period then post in your completed application form with your cheque and you will be able to start lending as soon as we open in February.
  • Start exploring the shelves!  Don’t be shy to ask the librarian or volunteers on duty for ideas for toys that might suit your child or for a bit of a tour to understand what is kept where.
  • Your membership runs until end of November each year when we close for the summer holidays. You rejoin and pay another annual membership fee if you want to use the library again the following year.
