THE MINNESOTA TOY LIBRARY
We are a toy lending program for families with children ages birth to 5 years. Like a book library, you can check-out up to five toys, take them home for 2-4 weeks and exchange them for new ones when you return!
welcome to
THE MINNESOTA TOY LIBRARY
Here, those caring for
young children - families, grandparents, nannies - can explore a whole world of fun—just like checking out books from the library, but with toys. Simply borrow up to five toys, enjoy them at home, and then bring them back to exchange for even more playful discoveries.

“We absolutely LOVE the toy library. Membership is worth every penny. – Kate Simpson The toy library helps our family save money, reduce materialism and waste, build community, and accommodate the changing interests and needs of our children. We give gift certificates as gifts to all the parents we know.”
~ Kathryn Spotts
“As a grandma with five grandchildren, I try to have some fun toys around when they come to visit. The toy library is a great way to have new and different toys around for them while they’re visiting Grandma’s house. They love it! And it saves me money.”
~ Gaelle Berg-Mefleh
“Thanks to the toy library, my twin toddlers (23 month old boys) are able to work on their fine motor and imaginative play skills!
I am amazed that they can put tinker toys together and use their imagination to spray out the fire with their fire hose they made!”
~ Jill Ohland
