·        Members are responsible for returning toys with all pieces and in the condition they left the library.  We recognize that normal wear and tear will occur to toys over time, but obvious mistreatment of the toys will require the member to replace the toy. Please check the unit/item for the “materials list” and the “how to use” list and follow the instructions.

 

·        Please supervise children with the use of items/toys appropriately.

 

·        All toys/items must be cleaned prior to returning to the library. Early Childhood Partners will sanitize items before they are checked out again.  Please clean items of pet/animal hair also. A fee will be applied if items are not cleaned upon return. Please follow these cleaning suggestions, and call with any questions on proper care of items.

 

           

HARD SURFACES:                 Wash with soap and water, then disinfect using either bleach solution or a commercial disinfectant that kills bacteria.
