The Las Vegas-Clark County Library District has launched a new free toy lending program to help encourage children to play.
“One of the important things with this program is really the power of play,” said Kristy Gibson, Youth Services Librarian. “You hear a lot now that kids are more apt to play with technology or be in front of the screen, and it’s really to bring back that imaginative play.”
The new toy lending program features 200 American Girl dolls, which span a diverse collection of personality profiles, ethnicities and historical backstories. Each of the dolls will be loaned out with a book detailing its life story, plus a backpack to transport the doll.
