THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, September 12, 2025 Page 9 New business The Toyary offers unique service T he Toyary, which is housed in a beautifully renovated warehouse space at 730 Eastern Ave. in Malden, is a toy lending library service. Parents and caregivers may purchase memberships that allow them to borrow age-appropriate toys for their children and then return and swap them on a regular basis. This practice is designed to decrease toy clutter, address kid “toy fatigue” and promote sustainability by sharing toys with others rather than buying new toys. The library includes a wide range of toys, including those ELECTIONS | FROM PAGE 1 are shown as part of this report. On September 16, polling stations will be open in Wards 4 and 6 from 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. on Preliminary Election day. This preliminary round will determine which candidates will move forward to the General Municipal Election on Tuesday, appropriate for infants all the way to children eight-plus years old. Some items are extremely special and unique, like an American Girl Doll Tree House that is no longer in production. Toys undergo a quarantine, inspection and cleaning process between loans to ensure safety and sanitization. Different membership levels are available for different budgets, but all memberships include special access to play at the Toyary warehouse during set hours. Other offerings are available as well, including the November 4, 2025. The last day for early voting for the Preliminary Election was yesterday, so any voting for this election moving forward will have to be in person at the polling place in either Ward 4 or Ward 6. *** Polling Place locations for Tuesday, September 16 Prelimopportunity to host parties at the Toyary or rent “party packs” full of party supplies that can be used at home.
