Toy Libraries at the Library
Emerald Hill Toy Library Re-Launch Party
Saturday 30 November | 10 am to 11 am | South Melbourne
Middle Park & South Melbourne toy libraries are working together and are changing their name back to Emerald Hill Toy Library. They are still operating in the same locations at Middle Park and Emerald Hill (South Melbourne) plus their hours remain the same.
An Emerald Hill Toy Library membership gives you access to both branches and access to over 2000 toys in their catalogue. Not only that but you can also return toys to either of their locations.
Visit their website for more information: Emerald Hill Toy Library
To celebrate the new name Emerald Hill Toy Libraries are hosting a relaunch party with two competitions for locals kids.
Name Ethel's friends
Ethel is our new bunny mascot and she has some friends that we need help naming. There is a prize for each name chosen.
