So that we can keep family memberships FREE of charge, please keep the following in mind:
- 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.
- Please take care of the toys borrowed. Toys that are returned damaged, noticeably scuffed, or are returned with pieces that are missing are subject to a fine that equals the full replacement cost of the entire toy.
