2024 was another great year at Ithaca's community toy-lending library, the Finger Lakes Toy Library (FLTL), thanks to the generosity and commitment of donors like you!
As a small independent non-profit with a limited budget, FLTL exists (and allows equitable access to membership regardless of ability to donate) because of thoughtful people like you.
Our location at the Shops of Ithaca Mall has continued to dramatically increase access for families to our extensive toy collection and many opportunities for play; and our off-site outreach playtimes continue to be in high demand with our many partner organizations.
We hope that you will join us in supporting childhood play in our community and help us to continue to bring joy and well-bring to children and families.
Thank you for your consideration in helping us to keep Ithaca’s community toy library going for families like the one who wrote this: "We love it here. We don't know what we'd do without you guys.” (quote from Christabelle Le Febvre)
The mission of Finger Lakes Toy Library is to improve quality of life by increasing access to toys, supporting play, and encouraging a culture of reuse and sharing.
All funds go directly to supporting our Director of Operations salary, so that she can manage our large team of volunteers and keep the doors of the toy library open.
