- Toys may be checked out for 2 calendar weeks. Late toys are subject to a late fee of $0.50 (50 cents) per toy, per day.
- Renewal approvals are subject to a toy's status on our waiting list. If a toy is not reserved for another family, it may be renewed ONE time, by phone, as long as the borrower calls on or before the return date.
