Giorgia Anile is the founder of The Toy Library, a wonderful peer to peer lending platform that not only saves on resources needed for new toys, but creates a sense of value in the sharing community for all ages. Keep an eye for in person swap events as well via their website or socials: Instagram @thetoylibraryireland or Facebook.

Their next in-person swap event is Sunday the 8th of December which you can get tickets for here.
