A NEW mobile toy library is offering youngsters the chance to play with more than 400 toys.

The toy library is based at Corporation Road Nursery, in Darlington, and will be travelling throughout the town.

It will be visiting the Sure Start project in McNay Street every Wednesday and is available to visit playgroups and nurseries elsewhere in the town.

The library was funded by the Darlington Early Years Development and Child Care project and money from Europe.

A spokeswoman for the library said: "We are keen to hear from any group which thinks it would benefit from the toys we have on offer.

"The library gives youngsters a chance to play with different toys at their nursery or group, as well as parents being able to borrow toys for a short period."

Anyone who would like the library to visit their group should call (01325) 244940.
