Toy and Resource Lending Library

Toy Lending Library

The Toy and Equipment Lending Library has durable, fun and educational toys, theme bins and child care equipment for loan to child care providers registered Child Care Resource and Referral (CCRR)  and families accessing SFRS services.

The library was one of the first of its kind in the Greater Victoria area when it was developed by parent volunteers in 1988. More recently, the volunteer library has been amalgamated with the theme bins and child care equipment of the CCRR to create a valuable resource for anyone caring for young children in Sooke and the Westshore.
