Gawler & Districts Elsie Ey Toy Library Inc_ provides local families an affordable way to access a wide range of high quality resources to enable their children to learn and develop through play. As we are completely volunteer-run we could not provide this service without volunteers.

The duties of volunteers include:

  • Greeting and providing assistance to members (eg. receiving returns, issuing loans, and once familiar with the toy collection assisting members select toys that suit their child’s interests and developmental stage).
  • Checking loans in and out using the computer catalogue system (Bookmark)
  • Checking returned items for missing pieces, damage and cleanliness
  • Maintaining the general tidiness and visual appeal of the toy library
  • Processing new toys (listing and labeling individual pieces, preparing labels using Microsoft Word, contacting boxes and entering details into the catalogue system)
  • Assisting to create displays to promote categories of toys within the toy library

Toy Library Assistants should be:

  • Supportive of the toy library in its commitment to being accessible and welcoming to all
  • Able to relate to children, including very young children, and their families and interact with them in a positive manner, that demonstrates patience and understanding
  • Able to work as part of a team following toy library procedures
  • Able to use a computer and willing to learn how to use the Bookmark catalogue system
  • Flexible in transitioning between tasks according to how busy the toy library is eg. serving members when busy and processing toys or creating displays when it is quiet.
You can not apply for this role as it is no longer available.
