Today's Guardian newspaper has an article by Zoe Williams on the advantages of using a toy library rather than buying new toys:
Borrow with mother - cut your child's carbon footprint with a toy library
"Why fill your home with brightly coloured plastic," asks the article, "when toy libraries offer a cheaper and more sustainable option?" Not-for-profit toy libraries are common in British cities but the article notes that despite the much-needed service they provide to poorer communities especially, many libraries often only a few days per week and others are understaffed.
