Toy Swap & Free Gift Wrapping Station
Join us for a fun-filled Toy Swap at our Crown Library Branch! Clear out your closets and bring your gently used toys to trade with others. It's a fantastic way to refresh your toy collection and promote sustainability by giving pre-loved toys a new home. This event encourages community connections and eco-conscious choices.
How It Works:
- Value Categories: To ensure a fair and enjoyable experience, we will categorize toys into three groups – Amazing, Brilliant and Cute.
- Equal Access: Every participant has equal access to all toys, regardless of the number or quality of toys they bring.
- Selection Rules: Choose one high-value toy (Amazing), two medium-value toys (Brilliant), and three low-value toys (Cute) within each time slot to help distribute toys fairly.
- Cleanliness & Working Condition: We kindly request that all toys you bring to the event be clean and in good working order. This ensures that the toys are safe and enjoyable for their new owners.
- Rotation System: We'll have a rotation system in place to make sure everyone has a chance to explore all value categories. No need to rush – we want everyone to find the perfect match for their child!
- Donate and Share: Leftover toys will be donated
- Drop-off Hours: Bring your toys during these times to receive your tickets for the swap:
- Monday, Nov 13th from 5-8pm
