Our team

Your Toy Library Coordinators

The continued success of our service relies on the tireless efforts of our friendly and knowledgeable Coordinators, Claire, Martha and Maggie.

We have three wonderful Coordinators running the show at Kew Toy Library! Between them, they share a warmth, love and commitment to the cause!

Since 2011, Claire has had a long association with toy libraries. She has been a Toy Library Coordinator at Hastings Toy Library and been a member of the Toy Libraries Australia committee since 2014. Claire has been the Senior Coordinator at Kew Toy Library since May 2023. She loves interacting with families, sharing toy knowledge and finding out what their favourite toys are!

Claire runs the Tuesday and Wednesday sessions

(PS: Claire loves the George Luck layered puzzles!)

Martha has been associated with Kew Toy Library since late 2021. Originally assisting as a Volunteer, she has now taken on running the Friday sessions as Coordinator.

Maggie began her toy library journey with Kew Toy Library as a member in 2018, then began to volunteer in 2020. She has taken on running the Saturday sessions as Coordinator.

Between them, our coordinators share an understanding of children's milestone developmental stages as well as offering excellent suggestions for toys so you are in good hands when you visit Kew Toy Library.

Drop in and say hello to any of our lovely Coordinators next time you are in the neighbourhood.

Your Toy Library President

My name is Veronica and I am both honoured and delighted to be the new President of the Kew Toy Library. KTL prides itself on the wonderful service it provides the community - which not only gives a cost-effective and environmentally sustainable way to entertain the children in your life- but also fosters a community within itself. It is in continuing to provide this calibre of service and making these connections with you all that I am so passionate about. Of course, KTL would be nothing without our wonderful Co-Ordinator, Ayse, and the many volunteers (including our committee) that makes the KTL so unique and special and I thank them all sincerely.

A little bit about me, I live in Kew with my husband, Paul, and two daughters and work as an employment lawyer. I look forward to meeting you all soon. If you have any questions or would like to chat about the KTL and how the KTL can strive to serve you, please reach out via president@kewtoylibrary.org.au .
