Bullsbrook Toy Library
WANDJOO!
WELCOME TO BULLSBROOK TOY LIBRARY
BULLSBROOK TOY LIBRARY is a non-profit organisation run by volunteers. Operating from the delightful Ethel Warren Bullsbrook Community Centre, we offer the people of Bullsbrook and surrounding areas a toy library as well as a social space where adults can have a cuppa and a chat while the children play.
We offer a broad selection of toys, soft play, games, jigsaws, ride-ons and dress ups. Although mostly catering for younger children, we have some options for teens and even seniors. Please browse our selection of toys by clicking the Toys button.
A Snippet of our Story - Our toy library started life on the Pearce Airbase, Bullsbrook in 1997 and was known as the Pearce Toy Library. In 2004 we amalgamated with the Pearce Social Group, becoming the Pearce Community Toy Library and Social Group. Moving to a property in Bullsbrook townsite for a time, we then had to close our doors before moving, in 2017, to our new home in the newly built Ethel Warren Bullsbrook Community Centre where we remain today. Over the years the toy library has had its struggles with low numbers and at one point was on the verge of closing. We are indebted to past committees for their hard work and committment in ensuring the toy library remains a valuable community resource for our families. In December 2020 we changed our name to the Bullsbrook Toy Library.
Our Logo - We commissioned local artist Jess Batten to design a logo to go with our new name. Jess has given us a fantastic logo with a delightful nod to our roots, having our little bull hold a plane. We love it! Thank you Jess!
