FPL Toy Swap
Saturday, January 24 - 10:00 a.m.
Our kids grow up and grow out of toys that they used to play with. If you have toys that your children no longer use, consider swapping them for something new-to-you!
Bring your gently used toys - no more than 10 - to the circulation desk January 12 through 21 during regular library hours. You will receive one ticket for each toy, with a maximum of 10 tickets. Come back with your tickets on Saturday, January 24 and "shop" for some new-to-you toys from 10:00 to 11:30 a.m. Any leftover toys will be made available to the public at 11:30 a.m.
Bring no more than 10 toys. Examples of toys to bring include complete puzzles, games, wooden toys, toy sets, action figures, construction toys, educational toys, physical activity toys, etc.
No toys will be accepted the day of the swap (January 24).
The swap is a “toy for a toy” regardless of the original cost.
NO cloth/fabric toys or toys intended to be put in a child’s mouth (teething items, etc.). We also cannot accept "Happy Meal"-type toys.
Toys should be clean and in working condition (no missing parts, please).
Staff reserve the right to refuse toys that do not meet the requirements.
If you would like to donate toys instead of getting tickets to swap, we will gladly accept up to 10 items that meet our requirements.
