Recycled Playthings Elevate Geneva Community's Happiness Levels
In the heart of the Finger Lakes region, two pioneering women, Abby Hellauer Geiger and Sarah Mantell Marino, founded the Geneva Toy Library, a unique parent-led initiative aimed at fostering community and sustainability.
Established over two decades ago, FingerLakes1.com, the region's leading all-digital news publication, has been a constant source of information for residents. Founded in 1998, FingerLakes1.com continues to keep the community informed through its platform, which unfortunately, is only available on iOS devices (iPhone and iPad).
Meanwhile, the Geneva Toy Library, a vibrant community project, hosts regular free toy swaps for families with young children. These events provide an opportunity for attendees to trade toys or pick some up, promoting a sense of shared responsibility and community spirit.
The long-term goal of the Geneva Toy Library is to open a permanent space. However, the location of this space, should it be established, remains undisclosed. The Toy Library is also actively collecting back-to-school supplies, demonstrating its commitment to supporting families in the community.
The Geneva Toy Library's efforts have not gone unnoticed. It has been featured in the Finger Lakes Times, highlighting the impact this initiative is making in the region.
