BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) — The Buffalo Toy Library is a nonprofit organization aiming to create equal and accessible opportunities for high-quality play materials.

Hannah Bogdan, the organization's founder, is a former preschool teacher who says the idea stemmed from her students taking home the classroom toys.

"I decided to create a toy library where they would be able to do that and bring them back," said Bogdan.

Although the library does not currently have a physical location, Hannah brings the toys to community events throughout the City of Buffalo.

"I love the idea of being able to rent a toy," said Jessica Banach, a mother. "It's like something you don't have at home and your kids are really excited about."

Bogdan assures parents that every toy in the library is cleaned and disinfected in accordance with CDC regulations.
