All members are required to pay a $50 bond. This bond is refundable upon leaving the toy library provided duty obligations are fulfilled and all toys are returned intact (no duty is required for a 3-month casual membership).
To be eligible for a refund, members must complete five duties per year: one per quarter in the toy library, plus one duty at a special event (such as stocktake, fundraising or promotional events). Members may choose a date and time that suits them for duty and must register on the roster on BH@TL Connect. Members who do not register will have their name automatically assigned to a borrowing session.
Duty involves arriving 10 minutes early to assist in setting up (unpacking the toys and setting up tables), assisting with returning toys during the session, then helping pack up at the end of the borrowing session.
If a member does not complete their duty requirements, the bond will not be refunded upon departure from the toy library. Bonds will be refunded at the discretion of the Box Hill Area Toy Library committee.
