Lander Expands a Toy Library to Make Room for Family Connections

The Toy Library at Lander’s Covenant Presbyterian Church, which provides a wide range of toys parents can borrow at no cost, has become an informal gathering space for families with preschoolers, an entry point for families new to town, and a warm place to be during the long winters. That said, the Toy Library does not have space to safely accommodate a lot of interaction: The cluttered space is both a little hazardous and also deters parents from lingering long enough to have supportive conversations with other Landerites. So one of the program’s volunteers reached out to LOR with a simple solution: add a shed for storage for the Library’s many toys, creating more space for families to connect. LOR’s funding helped purchase shelving, storage bins, storage shed, and educational materials.
