partial funding for Meadowbank Community Toy Library Librarian wages

Daniel from Saint Johns

We are in need of partial funding for our hardworking Librarian Wages.
We are a community Toy Library based in the basement of St Chads Church and provide educational toys to our members. Currently we have approx 95 families as members. We provide toys on a loan basis to our members. This helps our families who otherwise would not be able to afford the toys provided by our Toy Library. The only paid member of the Toy Library is the part time Librarian. We get partial funding for her wages from COG and the currently we are using our own funds to pay for the balance of the her wages. Our members are mostly from Meadowbank and surrounding surburbs. Members are on a roster as volunteers to assist the Librarian to keep the Toy Library open. Without our Librarian to organize all the work behind the scene we wouldn't be able to survive to provide this service. We have been providing Toys to families since 1999
