Read more about this location
Nantucket Toy Library @ St. Paul's is a small community play space inside St. Paul's Church where families can play indoors, use the outdoor area, and borrow toys to take home. The project is geared especially toward children ages 0–5 and is staffed by trained volunteers rather than a commercial play-center team. It is a strong rainy-day option for island families who want a low-key, child-centered visit instead of a louder high-energy indoor playground.
