 Safety and hygiene are of utmost importance to us and so we start by sourcing toys that made from natural materials and finishes, such as solid wood with water based paint and beeswax finishes that a shown to be safe for our little ones.

All our toys are sent to our facility when they are returned, or when a swap is made, where each item is rigorously checked, cleaned, and disinfected before they are made available for play again. We use a natural disinfectant and sanitizer that is certified and proven to kill 99.9% of viruses and bacteria, including "...Influenza A, Salmonella, and Listeria when used as directed." It is also EPA rated for use against SARS-CoV-2 virus that causes the Coronavirus (Covid-19) disease. It is very likely that our toys are cleaner than the second-hand toys children interact with at school settings and daycares.

Yes! We only make use of toys that are in strict accordance with regulations by the Toy Safety Directive that regulates toy safety in the EU, as well as other aplicable regulations. This directive lays down safety criteria that toys must meet before they can be marketed in the EU. Safety of our children is always our top priority.

Remember, you can keep our toys for as long as you want with no late fees or due dates, but yes, subject to approval, you can purchase any loved toy and keep forever.

We use a residual value calculation to determine what it would cost for you to purchase the toy to keep permanently, so you never get to pay more than the retail value of the toy. We will also return the corresponding Library Coin value of the toy back to your account, available for you to use to checkout other toys from our library.

We also have other possible ways to allow your child keep any loved toy forever, so contact us with your request for a loved toy you will like to keep forever. All requests are subject to approval.

We definitely expect that every toy will be used and played with and so we understand the possibility of light wear and tear. As such, we provide allowance for fair wear and tear. We do ask that you inform us as soon as possible, and although we have and default to our defined residual value system for determining replacement cost, we know every case is different, and so we like to treat each event on a case by case basis. 

Some things we consider include:
• Can the toy still be played with as intended?
• Is the toy still safe for use and play?
• Can the toy be repaired?
• The condition of the toy

Contact us at hello@mytoylibrary.com if you have a damaged toy to allow us quickly asses the extent of damage and available options. 

The Toy Residual value is a calculation we use to determine the replacement cost or fee charged when a toy is damaged and need to be replaced. Rather than charge the full cost of the toy, we take the time the toy has already used by the customer into consideration, against a small and customer-favorable lifetime use of 1-year (in most cases).

We take the retail value of the toy and the number of months you have had the toy, and divide by 12 months. 
For example:  If you have a toy that is worth €‎20, and you have been borrowing the toy for 9 months (therefore 12 - 9 = 3), the residual value to be charged is  (€‎20 x 3) ÷ 12 = €‎5

 In this way, you never get charged more than the retail value of the toy.

We also use the Residual value formula as a guide for toys you would like to keep forever. Contact us at hello@mytoylibrary.com with your request to help calculate the residual value for your toy.
