Please join Sustainable Skerries, a committee of the Skerries Community Association, for the launch of our beach toy library, at Skerries South Strand, on Sunday 7th July at 11 am. 

Beach toy libraries put unwanted toys to good use and help reduce plastic waste. Simply borrow the toys from the box, play with them, and return them when you are finished! 

This beach toy library in Fenit, Co. Kerry, a cooperation between Fenit Town Hall and Fenit Town Conservation, reduced beach waste by over 70 %, according to Mary O’Brien Browne, Fenit Town Hall.

Donations of good quality beach toys would be greatly appreciated. If you can’t bring them on Sunday, please drop them into the box during the following week. If the box happens to be full please don’t leave them beside it,  contact sustskerries@gmail.com and we’ll consider keeping some in reserve to replace toys that get worn out. We’ll be checking the box regularly.

With thanks to Fingal County Council for giving the Go-Ahead for this, and to Skerries Men’s Shed and Foróige for making/designing the sign that we’ll put beside the box.

We look forward to seeing you there!
