Hi, I'm Polina, and I'm the Treasurer for our wonderful Toy Library.
I first discovered the joy of the Toy Library when my son was 1.5 years old. As a working parent, I found it challenging to keep up with my little one's ever-evolving interests. That's when I became a member, realizing it was a fantastic way to provide him with a variety of toys without cluttering our home.
Being a member quickly evolved into a passion for contributing to the Toy Library's growth. Now, as the Treasurer, I am dedicated to ensuring the financial well-being of our community treasure. Working full time has its demands, but my love for the Toy Library fuels my commitment to its success. I find immense joy in helping this vibrant community thrive.

I've found it a great way to provide a fresh selection of interesting toys for my kids, as well as saving money and waste. It''s neat to hear how other families find it useful too. I enjoying being part of the volunteer committee to help it continue into the future.
Hi, I'm Aimee - Mum to one and marketing strategist to many. After seeing first-hand the huge value of the toy library's services for my son, Eli, I joined the committee to assist with marketing and sponsorship initiatives that contribute to the library's continued operation and growth.
While my small business takes up more time than I'd like, I thoroughly enjoy doing my little bit for the library whenever possible. TACTL is an invaluable community resource that we need to nurture, enjoy, and grow together.
