YOUR CHILD’S HEALTH AND SAFETY ARE IMPORTANT!

Every toy in the Cuyahoga County Public Library Toy Collection is carefully prepared for borrowing.

Each toy is examined, cleaned, and disinfected
between borrowers. 

These precautions reduce your child’s exposure to germs
and safety issues resulting from damage, wear, etc.
