Lending Library

Bridges to Growth offers a free library that circulates children’s toys, games, puzzles, music, books, and other materials that are not only fun,  but also aid children in their learning and development.  Materials are loaned for a three-week period.   A workroom is available for laminating and making die cuts.  The only charge is a nominal fee for laminating film and paper if Bridges to Growth’s paper is used to make the die cuts.

To be eligible to borrow materials from the Bridges to Growth Resource Center, please stop by during our hours of operation and complete a registration form.  This will be kept on file and a client card will be made.  This card is kept at Bridges.  Each time you visit Bridges, there is a sign-in sheet outside the door.  Please sign in.  You can then browse our shelves and choose materials.  Stop by the circulation desk with the materials you wish to borrow.  Your client card will be accessed and the material is checked out to you for a three-week period..  You will be given a reminder order form indicating the due back date for the items you are borrowing.  Should you need an extension, please phone Bridges at (512) 864-3008 during operating hours and we will try and extend your reservation of the material.
