The Book a Toy Loan Service is a joint project run by Newcastle Toy Library Forum, Newcastle City Libraries and Sure Start Children's Centres.
The scheme operates in Fenham, Gosforth, Walker, Newbiggin Hall and Outer West libraries with outreach catalogues at East End and Newburn libraries.
An adult requires and 18+ library ticket to access the toys and can borrow up to 4 toys for four weeks at a time free of charge.
A catalogue with photographs of the toys suitable for under 8's is available in each library. Toys already out on loan can be reserved.
