The Bellingham Play Library was a toy library.
The Bellingham Play Library operated from September 2023 to October 2024. We created a catalog of over 800 toys, donated by community members.
Closing the toy library meant that these toys needed homes: a core value of this project was sustainability.
On closing, members were able to to choose toys to keep. Toys were also given to local early education programs. A pay-as-you-wish toy sale, held at the start of the 2024 holiday season, was our final push for toys to get into children's hands. The remainder of the toys were donated.
