Memberships
You can join Playcycle with either monthly or yearly memberships at several different levels:
​
Standard Membership:
$20/mo Standard Yearly membership, prepaid
$25/mo Standard Monthly membership, paid monthly
Standard members can borrow 5 items every 2 weeks, which adds up to at least 130 toys every year! At an average cost of $10/toy, a standard membership is over $1,000 less than buying the same number of toys. According to the Toy Industry Association, the average family spends $581/year on toys. A toy library subscription can help you save money. Plus you don't have to worry about unused toys cluttering your space. Just return them to the toy library!
​
Upcycle (Low Cost) Membership:
$10/month (Can be prepaid for the year or paid monthly)
Upcycle members can also borrow 5 items every 2 weeks. This membership level is intended to serve people in a variety of circumstances including, but not limited to: low-income households, foster families, student families, and special needs families.
We trust that our members are able to responsibly determine their own financial situation and what membership best suits their needs and abilities, so proof of income is not required.
Upcycle memberships are funded in part by Play It Forward donations.

Explorer Memberships:
$15/2 weeks
Explorers can borrow 5 items for up to 2 weeks. This level is great for people who want to try the toy library to see if it works for them, or who are in town for a short period of time and want to borrow toys, games, or gear during their stay.
Lending Policies
Any member can borrow toys from the library. To become a member, click here.
​
Members can borrow up to five toys for up to two weeks. Once you're ready to explore and enjoy more toys, return them to the library and borrow more!
​
Items returned later than two weeks may incur a minimal fee.
​
Lost or damaged items will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. In some cases a minimal fee may be charged or the member may be asked to substitute a similar toy.
​
If you try a toy and love it, ask about buying it!
