The toy library at Friendship
House, now in its third season,
has become the major interest OF
its sponsoring organization the
Washington Chapter OF Mortar
Board Alumnae.
Stated by chapter members
and volunteer students from
George Washington University
who are studying sociology, the
library is open on Fridays from
230 to 4 pm.
An average of more than go
children show up weekly to select
their toys and sign up for the
articles which are withdrawn for
stated periods.
The sponsors have been pleased
this year to note improvement In
the care given the toys by the
youthful borrowers. As an in
centive in this direction, the
library offers bonus toy to the
child whose record, at the end OF
a six weeks period. shows he has
taken good care of the toys and
returned them promptly.
Three Parties Given
At Friendship House.
As a further incentive the
chapter also gives three parties
annually at Friendship House at
which the children compete for
certain choice items.
The library staff reports numer-
Gus instances in which the young
sters unselflshlv relinouish their
own privileges in favor of
brothers and sisters. Toys or
games whole families can enjoy
also have been favorites.
Only articles which can be
washed are circulated in the
library and one of the young
patrons" earns a weekly income
by laundering doll dresses and
cleaning the toys.
The chapter. which receives
contributions from a number Of
organization. reports a special
need just now for roller skates
and occupatlonal toys.
