a sustainable start for your little sprout! 

DE GEZINSBIB – including the Baby Library, Toy Library & more – is an initiative within the circular economy that enables families to sustainably share high-quality items.
Families can borrow the materials they need in an affordable and eco-friendly way.
It's good for the climate and for your wallet. Buying less also means less production, less transport, and less clutter at home. And you can try everything out first before deciding to purchase something yourself.

THE FAMILY LIBRARY has three DEPOTS:

In Brugse Poort you'll find a nice selection of family and baby items, as well as the Toy Library. Most of the materials stored here can also be picked up at other locations.

In Dampoort you'll find everything that's a bit larger: strollers, car seats, bike seats, balance bikes, and furniture. Items stored here must also be picked up and returned in Dampoort.

In Nieuw Gent the focus is on pregnancy and parenting, including the Mamaboutiek (maternity and breastfeeding clothing).

In addition, there are POINTS in Gentbrugge, Ledeberg and Merelbeke Flora, where you can easily pick up and return reserved items – as long as they fit in a shopping bag.
