Wentworthville Book and Toy Library | Cumberland Council Libraries

Close to Westmead Hospital, Wentworthville library has a large kids area, wonderful toy library and a great weekly reading program for little ones. It’s part of the Cumberland Council Library Service.

The library is situated amongst community halls and there’s off street parking at the front and back. Next to the library at the back is a small fenced, shaded playground that has two swings and small climbing equipment best suited for kids 1-4yrs.

Toy Library

We love toy libraries and really wish more Council libraries would have them. They are a very cheap away for your kids to experience a wide variety of toys without adding to landfill and needing a huge amount of storage space at home. In addition to the toy library at Wentworthville, there are 6 others across Western Sydney.

This toy library in particular is fantastic because:

• it’s integrated with the library so you can borrow and return toys when the library is open
• it has a great selection of large, outdoor and indoor toys, such as cubby houses, play gyms, ride ons and pretend kitchens.
• you can search online for toys through the library catalogue

The toy collection has been organised according to their use:

• Activity (dark blue)
• Baby Play (pink)
• Coordination (purple)
• Discrimination (yellow)
• Expression (light blue)
• Fun & Games (green)
