Meet Eloise - Our Secretary

How long have you been a TL member?

Since early 2021.

Why did you join?

We joined the toy library as it was a great way to try larger toys without overcrowding our home. We also try to be mindful about what we buy and the impact on the environment (especially given some toys don’t retain my son’s interest for long!), so borrowing toys rather than purchasing toys really appealed to us.

What do you like about the Toy Library?

I love the variety of toys. There’s always something new to discover!

What is your committee role and what does it involve?

I’m the Secretary which predominantly involves creating the agenda and taking minutes of our committee meetings and responding to member emails (if you’ve ever emailed the toy library, you might have heard from me!)

Do you have a favourite toy/type of toy?

The soft play blocks went down a treat.

Any tips for new members?

Try new toys that you’d never think your child would be into, as they might surprise you!
