We are always accepting donations for the toy library! The priority for the toy catalog is toys that are open-ended and support child-led, imaginative play.

You can drop off toy donations during open library hours.

Below are some guidelines: if you’re not sure if your toys meet these criteria, please send an email.

While we may accept them again in the future, we are not accepting LEGO or puzzles at this time.

Donated toys should be:

• Well designed, well constructed, and safe

• Durable + cleanable

• Appropriate for children 0-8(ish)

• Complete and in good condition, with plenty of life left in them!

• soft toys (teddy bears, stuffies)

• commercial/media tie-in toys (e.g. Disney, Marvel, TV Shows, cartoons, etc.)

• Consumable toys (e.g. play dough, craft kits)

• Kid tablets/Computers (e.g. Leap Frog, VTech)

• Books (info about Bellingham Public Library donations)

• Anything broken or without all of its pieces
