Discover the Children's Links Toy Library and Soft Play

Lincoln Central Library is hosting a session to introduce the Children's Links Toy Library on Wednesday 21 October, from 10am to 12pm. It's a drop-in morning, so you can pop in whenever suits you between those hours.

If you haven't come across it before, the Children's Links Toy Library is a scheme that lets families borrow toys rather than buying them new. The idea is simple: you take home a toy, let your kids play with it for a while, and then return it so another family can have a turn. It's a way of getting a variety of things into the house without the clutter and cost of buying every new toy that catches a child's eye, and it keeps the toys in use rather than sitting on a shelf.

On the morning, the team behind the library will be there in person, so you can meet them and ask any questions you have about how it works. There's an interactive spinner game for the kids to get stuck into, which gives the little ones something to do while you find out more about the services they offer for children and families. It's a good chance to see how the whole thing runs and decide if it's something that would work for your household.

It all takes place at Lincoln Central Library on Free School Lane, LN2 1EZ, on Wednesday 21 October from 10am to 12pm.
