Ireland's Digital Sharing Platform For Toys...And School Supplies!

The Toy Library connects families who wish to donate gently used toys with conscious parents and caregivers for which pre-loved is the right choice.

How Back To School Works

At The Toy Library, we encourage families across the country to redistribute school equipment like bags and pencil cases to reduce waste and save money, while protecting our children's future πŸ’š

Share What You Don't Need

Let's make space while helping each other gear up for school! Log in to your account or sign up, then create a new listing: choose the πŸ“š School items category, add some details, and snap a photo of what you want to pass on. That's it! Your pre-loved school item is now ready to be found, and give joy to another child in the community.
