Krystal Cunillera opened Rutabaga Toy Library in 2019 to provide affordable, eco-friendly access to toys and a gathering space for kids and their grownups.

It doesn’t take very long after becoming a parent (or even before) to realize how much material waste is involved in raising a family. As a new mom, she began learning about low-waste alternatives to parenting and came across an article about a toy library in Austin, Texas. Their space served as a gathering space for families, while also providing an alternate path for families to share resources instead of always buying new. She decided this was a perfect way to support families in Philadelphia and Rutabaga Toy Library was officially born!

You may bring toys in during browsing hours or call/email to set up a time.
