It is a happy talent to know how to play.

~Ralph Waldo Emerson

WonderPlay Library

Opening Late August 2025!

The Play Library includes a carefully curated collection of toys and materials that will interest most children from infancy through age 6. Members can visit the Play Library for interactive, hands-on play experiences and to borrow items from the library. This allows families to try toys prior to purchasing, reduce clutter and waste in their homes, & continually promote open-ended and active play without the expense of purchasing toys for every stage.

How it works:

  • Sign up for a Play Library plan. Available August 2025

  • Visit the Play Library during open hours to play with and/or borrow toys.

  • Select toys from the library for up to 2 weeks (most can be extended an additional 2 weeks).

  • Wonder. PLAY. Learn.

  • Return toys. Repeat.

Play Library Policies

🧸 My WonderPlay Library Policies

Welcome to the Play Library! We're so glad you're here. Our goal is to promote joyful, developmentally appropriate play by giving families access to a rotating collection of high-quality, hands-on learning materials. Please read the following policies to ensure a smooth and respectful experience for all.

  • 🎉 Welcome to Our Play Space!

    Let’s work together to keep this a safe, joyful place to play and connect.

    🧒 Supervision

    • Children must be actively supervised by a parent or caregiver at all times.
