Book excerpt: A brief history of the toy library movement is offered. Programs for both handicapped and nonhandicapped children in 15 countries are described and the effectiveness of such programs is considered. Two types of toy library programs are defined--the Scandinavian model, or lekotek (designed exclusively for handicapped children and their families and staffed by professionally trained personnel who combine toy lending with assessment of children's needs and parental guidance) and the Anglo-Saxon version (which is more loosely organized and relies more on charities and volunteer services). Lekotek and toy library programs are described for: Sweden, Norway, Finland, Iceland, Great Britain, Canada, the United States, Australia, New Zealand, France, Switzerland, Italy, Mauritius, Brazil, and Zimbabwe. The following are among the conclusions: lekoteks tend to have a high quality of diagnostic and remedial service, but often lack the enthusiasm and idealism of volunteers and the active involvement of parents; and the Anglo-Saxon toy libraries have the freedom and flexibility to serve all children and to address a greater variety of personal and group needs, however, volunteers often lack the skills needed to be of optimum assistance to their clients.

Book excerpt: "The concept of the Toy Library originated during the Great Depression, when it was noticed that children were stealing toys, as they could not afford to buy them. Due to the concern of rising theft, a library was started where children could borrow a wide variety of toys. It also helped to encourage the values of honesty, responsibility and good citizenship. Since then, many toy libraries have sprouted across the United States. The concept, however, is not prevalent in other countries around the world. Hence, many people are, as yet unaware of its benefits, which include, providing an environment of abundant playing opportunities, building communities and serving as a critical educational resource for a child's development and unstructured play. This thesis provides an opportunity to promote the benefits of a Toy Library. Besides generating public awareness, it also serves as a marketing campaign enabling the audience to understand the idea behind the Toy Library. The new identity design and brand awareness campaign attempts to convey a specific message to inform and motivate people to join the service, as well as to encourage learning and playing through the sharing of toys. The applications of the campaign act as a tool to educate parents on the merits of a Toy Library in child development, thereby empowering them to be a part of this service. It also helps to facilitate in bringing all toy libraries under one roof, ensuring a stringent standard, as well as consistent facilities and programs across the United States. Research was conducted and data was assembled from various sources such as Toy Library websites, videos on toys and early child care books, as well as articles on advertising campaigns. Online and physical surveys created to gather valuable feedback, as well as opinions regarding Toy Libraries. A visit to the Toy Library in Rochester was conducted to observe its day-to-day functioning. Personal interviews with parents and toy librarians were conducted out to gather information about their experiences at the Toy Library."--Abstract.
