Library For All Australia

Library For All delivers high quality, culturally-diverse, educational reading material to communities that need it, via a groundbreaking e-book library app. Learning to read should be a basic right for every child, but millions of kids around the world have no access to reading material. Our unique digital library fills educational resource gaps in developing world communities and other regions where history, poverty or remoteness, prevents access to conventional book collections. Our quest is simple: we are there when books are not, so that every child can experience the joy of reading.

Bayside Toy Library

Who are we? Bayside Toy Library is a not-for-profit toy lending service (for children aged between 6 months and 10 years), which provides families with access to a variety of educational toys to assist with childhood development. Established in 1985, it recognised two fundamental truths: toys cost a lot of money, and kids lose interest in them fast! With over items on offer, BTL can fascinate your child for years to come at a very low cost. The philosophy behind the choice of toys is that they should be multi-functional and require kids to use and develop their own skills. Of course, they are also lots of fun! The Bayside Toy Library (BTL) is managed by a voluntary committee of members. Committee members are elected annually at our AGM which is open to all members. Vision Healthy, happy children Mission Providing access to high quality, affordable and fun toys that educate through play What makes BTL unique? BTL isn’t JUST a lending service. BTL is becoming a community space where families and carers can find answers to how to rise their children healthy and happy, through having fun. BTL is a space where people can share experiences and connect. BTL has sustainability to its core, practising and encouraging anything that will reduce the impact on our planet, so the generation we are educating can enjoy it. BTL has been around for more than 30 years – that’s a lot of playing time with children!
