Whitfords Rainbow Toy Library is a not-for-profit community organisation that loans toys, games, puzzles, and more to local families. It has been operating for over 30 years, run entirely by member volunteers.

We are open every Saturday from 9:00 am to 11:00 am, except on public holiday weekends and over the Christmas break.

From 11 January 2025, we will be operating from Guy Daniel Clubroom, 16 Sail Terrace, Heathridge in Perth’s northern suburbs.

Our last day at the Whitfords Family Centre will be 14 December.

Yes, there is ample free parking available.

Any family can join the Whitfords Toy Library! We welcome families living in the northern suburbs of Perth or surrounding areas, from Sorrento to Yanchep and beyond.

We offer 12- or 6-month memberships. Members are required to volunteer some of their time to help run the Toy Library as we are entirely volunteer-operated. Members will volunteer for a shift at the Toy Library once per quarter (approx. 2.5 hours) and attend the annual stock take and AGM.

To become a member, complete an online form and pay your fees via bank transfer.

The cost of membership is $80 or $50 for a reduced duration (up to 6 months). All memberships require a commitment to volunteering on a Saturday shift at the toy library four times per year and attend the annual stocktake and AGM. Memberships expire on 30 June or 31 December, depending on the date of registration.

We have a wide range of toys, including ride-ons, puzzles, dress-ups, educational games, and more, catering to newborns to children aged up to 6 years old.

Typically, members can borrow up to 8 toys per visit.

We kindly ask that toys are returned on time to ensure availability for other members. Late fees may apply if toys are returned past the due date without prior arrangement.

Unfortunately, we cannot facilitate holds on toys.

Members can borrow toys every Saturday from 9-11am, except on public holiday weekends and over the Christmas break.

Toys are loaned out for a period of three weeks.

We understand that accidents happen! If a toy is damaged, we ask members to notify us and return all the parts. For toys that are damaged beyond repair or pieces are lost, a replacement fee may apply.

Most of our toys are purchased new thanks to grants, sponsorships and monetary donations. If you have toys that are ‘like-new’ and would like to donate to the Toy Library, please contact us with more information.

You can reach the Committee via email at toy_library@hotmail.com. As we are entirely volunteer-run, we kindly ask for your patience, and we will aim to respond within 3-5 days.

We are fortunate to have a number of local businesses sponsor toys at our Toy Library. We welcome interest from businesses who would be interested in supporting us. Contact us at toy_library@hotmail.com and the committee will work with you to identify appropriate toys aligned with your industry which we would be grateful to accept as a donation. 

Non-members are welcome to visit during opening hours to learn more about what we offer. However, borrowing toys is exclusive to members.
