Westcoast Mobile Lending Service

Westcoast Mobile Lending offers families the opportunity to borrow toys, children’s storybooks, and parenting books and videos to use at home. Through the Mobile Lending program families can borrow specially selected toys and games to use with children to support their physical, social, emotional, and language development.

Children develop and learn through play. Westcoast Mobile Lending makes it easy for families to provide quality play items for their young children by bringing these materials to families at locations close to home.
